New phase shift software
Precision-Optical Engineering (P-OE) has extended its range of digital phase shift interferometry analysis software for use with its Interfire 3-5 and Interfire 10.6 infra-red interferometers
P-OE is a business centre of MBDA UK and undertakes optical research and development as well as the manufacture of optical systems and optical components for use in the visible, infra-red and microwave regions of the spectrum at its production facility in Hitchin, Hertfordshire.
The company also manufactures infra-red interferometers for optical surface quality assurance applications.
Sales and Marketing Manager, Robin Addison, comments: "This accreditation is an important milestone for P-OE, since ISO9001:2000 replaces ISO9001:1994 at the end of 2003, and any companies not approved to the new level will automatically lose any previous accreditation.
However, not content with this, we see achievement of the new ISO14001 standard for EMS as being a necessary qualification to remain competitive in the global marketplace, so it naturally becomes an essential part of our business strategy".
The ISO14001 standard requires companies to develop and maintain a system that includes the key components of establishing an environmental policy, determining environmental aspects and impacts of product/activities/services, planning environmental objectives and measurable targets, implementation of programs to meet objectives and targets, checking and corrective action, and management review.
