Why Standards matter in Rental

The modern business environment emphasizes quality and reliability like never before. Digital communication is making us more aware of the safety and environmental impacts of the companies we engage with. Stakeholders across the entire value chain are demanding compliance with local and international regulations.

To help businesses navigate this increasingly complex regulatory environment, companies like International Organization for Standardization develop comprehensive international standards. 

Staying agile in a complex regulatory environment means choosing a Rental partner with standards

Whether you’re covering a breakdown or planning for a project, if you’re integrating rental equipment into your production process it’s critical you understand the quality, safety and environmental standards of your partner. For the duration of your application, the rental equipment and company will have a direct impact on the quality of your process.

At Atlas Copco Rental, we’ve established processes that ensure we’re compliant with ISO 9001:2015 (quality management), ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management), ISO 45001:2018 (WHS management) and ISO 8573-1:2010 (truly oil-free). Our compliance has been certified by local auditors that work within the unique framework of the countries we operate in.

Standards deliver benefits throughout the value chain

Companies certified to international standards experience a variety of benefits, and when you choose a Rental partner that complies with these standards the benefits are transferred to you. These benefits directly impact the quality and efficiency of your application, beginning from the moment you call us and continuing across the life of your project.

1. Globally recognised commitment to sustainability

Sustainability is of increasing importance to stakeholders. Engineers and project planners are being required to show carbon-neutrality, environmental impact and long-term sustainability. ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental management systems demonstrates a company’s fulfilment of its environmental objectives and commitment to continual improvement.

When you choose Atlas Copco Rental as your Rental partner, you’re choosing a partner with a globally recognised commitment to the environment.

2. Quality products, processes and personnel

A Rental partner with quality management certification has demonstrated its compliance with quality expectations in many areas:

  • Customer focus
  • Management motivation
  • Process approach
  • Continual improvement

For our industries, these areas can impact the success of your project as much as the rental equipment itself.

ISO9001:2015 – Quality management systems contains some of ISO’s best-known standards for quality management, and our compliance with this standard helps ensure consistent, good-quality products and services for our clients and theirs.

3. Comprehensive OH&S compliance

A continued commitment to safe people and processes is at the heart of how we operate. Global organisations with complex supply chains can struggle with implementing safe practices, but our certification to ISO 45001:2018 – WHS management systems demonstrates external assessment and certification of our commitment to safety throughout the chain.

Choosing Atlas Copco Rental means working with a partner whose WHS practices are comprehensive, clearly documented and easily integrated into your own.

Compliance at Every Level

We’re certified to international standards, but we understand that your business has its own specific set of criteria to meet. Local government policies change from country to country, and specific industries and applications have their own standards.

Our compliance with ISO regulations ensures we’ll integrate more easily into your local regulatory environment. Our local Rental experts are trained in unique needs of your industry and can customise the equipment and solution to ensure it meets your site requirements.
