Gloucestershire-based welding specialists Arc Energy
Resources has had its environmental management system
certified by Lloyds Register to BS EN ISO 14001:2004.
Arc Energy’s environment and procurement manager Andrew
Robinson is a member of the Institute for Environmental
Management and Assessment (IEMA). The audit was completed
within a month despite the unique problems posed by Arc
Energy’s location, as Andrew explains: “The factory is
situated on the site of an 18th century mill, and
is bounded by the river Frome, the Stroudwater canal, a
brook and a drainage ditch. This makes the site almost an
island and, with no mains drainage available, made control
of spills and runoff an area of particular importance.”
The BS EN ISO 14001certificate follows a long list of awards
for the company in its 16-year history, including the BS EN
ISO 9001:2008 and BS EN ISO 3834-2 quality management
systems; qualification by the internationally
renowned ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Certification
organisation, which establishes the codes and rules for the
design, construction, inspection and testing of pressure
vessels, nuclear plant and boilers; and
EMS certification.
