Quality has always formed a cornerstone of our company policy. All our activities are subject to procedures derived from the processes stipulated by the ISO and are fully documented in our Quality Management System.

During 1986 we became one of the very first engineering companies in the UK to achieve ISO 9000 certification.

In 2003 we fully migrated our quality system to the new ISO 9001 2000 standard and have used this opportunity to review and revise all of our processes and procedures. Our quality assurance department is staffed with an inspection team who are trained and certified in the relevant NDT disciplines.

In 2009 OEL successfully passed its transition audit from ISO9001:2000 to ISO9001:2008. This was followed by OEL’s satellite factories meaning all OEL branches are certified to this standard.

All new or repaired components are subject to a quality plan and are dispatched with a certificate of conformity. Custom inspection and testing plans can be incorporated to meet the most exacting of standards.

Our quality assurance and quality control procedures include:
• Incoming job inspection (repair)
• Staged/process inspection
• Surface finish testing
• Ultrasonic inspection
• Non-destructive testing
• Final inspection
• Certification of conformity
