Shandong Leadernano Tech. Co., Ltd. (Leadernano), which was awarded the world's first graphene material product certification from IGCC, was established in 2011. Its main business is the industrialization development, production and application of graphene materials and related carbon nanomaterials. As the pioneer of graphene industrialization, Leadernano was the first one who challenged and passed the evaluation of IGCC certification.
IGCC adopts the 5th certification mode, which is Type-testing + Factory Inspection + Follow up Inspection. Firstly, the type-testing of Leadernano was sampled by IGCC personnel and the tests were conducted by National Institute of Metrology, China. Then, IGCC audit group evaluated the resource, set-up and implement of Leadernano’s quality system. Through these tough evaluation procedure, Leadrnano obtained the IGCC certificate on June 25th. There’d be some follow up inspection after certified to evaluate the effeteness of quality and certification.
For consumers, access to safe, secure, and satisfying products and services is the motivation for market consumption activities; for producers, gaining from the provision of higher quality products is a prerequisite for gaining market competitive advantage. Therefore, “quality improvement” is an improvement of enterprises core competitiveness.
Quality improvement” depends on whether the market has a fair and transparent evaluation system and a coordinated orientation. It provides clear guidance signals to the market through third-party compliance assessment and publicity certification, thus guiding enterprises to actively participate in quality management. Activities such as quality assurance and quality improvement. Therefore, the essential attribute of the certification body is not only to pass the trust to the market, but also to provide method of improvement.
IGCC adheres to the work concept of “inspection + promotion”. After the company obtains the certificate, in addition to the necessary supervision and verification once a year, IGCC conducts a targeted return visit to help the certified company to continuously improve and enhance the core competitiveness of its products.
On September 10, three months after the issue of certificate to Leadernano, IGCC organized experts to pay a return visit to the company for the purpose of quality improvement. This return visit aims to help customers solve the problems in the core quality competitiveness “quality improvement” in the first time, and give concrete and feasible solutions to the “trigger point” problem of quality management, understand the real needs of customers, and improve the certification body itself. service quality.
Dr. Bergholz, the leader of the expert group, has been a quality manager for more than 30 years in companies such as Siemens. He also teaches a number of modern quality control and practical courses in quality management and statistical tools at Jacobs University. An international top expert combined with practice. In the process of revisit, through the training of technical management, advanced quality management methods such as product continuous quality control, SPC (statistical process control) and FMEA (failure mode and impact analysis) were introduced to Leadernano to promote continuous improvement. thereby enhancing the core competitiveness of enterprise products.
As the world's first certificate body conducting graphene material certification, Dr. Bergholz hope that Leadernano will continue to play its leading and demonstrating role in the industry and become a real leader in the graphene industry.
