Reaffirming real-world quality
certification translates into dependable turnaround times, a right-first- time approach, clear and accessible reports, and corrective-action cycles that drive continuous improvement. For maintenance teams, fleet operators and asset owners, that means faster, more confident
During World Quality Month (November 2025), condition monitoring specialist company, WearCheck, rea§irmed its commitment to verifiable quality – from the scientific laboratory methods it uses to the professional customer service it delivers. This focus on authenticity is underpinned by the recent re- award of ISO 9001:2015 certification for WearCheck’s laboratories by the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS). The Cape Town laboratory is the latest to receive this certification, following the Johannesburg, Middelburg and Durban laboratories, which have been ISO certified for many years. WearCheck was first awarded ISO 9001 certification in 1996. Its ISO 14001 certification has been in place since 2005. To maintain this international standard, the company undergoes regular, annual surveillance audits and a comprehensive re-certification every three years. WearCheck’s quality administrator Prinda Narasi says, “Our customers rely on us for results they can trust. ISO 9001:2015 provides independent confirmation that our systems are robust, our processes are repeatable, and our culture is one of continual improvement. These days, where manipulated content can cloud judgement, being able to o§er verifiable, third-party certification helps customers distinguish between marketing claims and proven capability.” Narasi adds, “Quality at WearCheck is not just a certificate on the wall – it is our way of working. From sample reception and chain-of-custody monitoring to instrument calibration, method validation and clear reporting, each stage is governed by documented procedures and handled by skilled employees. Our laboratory technicians are highly trained specialists who know what they are doing, and our diagnosticians are equipped to interpret results and advise on the next steps.” What ISO 9001:2015 means for customers ISO 9001:2015 sets out the requirements for a quality management system that consistently meets customer and regulatory expectations. In practice, WearCheck’s
decision-making and reduced life-cycle costs. As World Quality Month highlights the importance of doing things the right way, WearCheck urges customers to check that any supplier’s certificates are legitimate. Verification is simple: confirm the details with the issuing certification body or via the relevant public directory. There are instances across industries where non-genuine certificates are used. Narasi welcomes scrutiny of the WearCheck’s certifications and accreditations. “Customers are encouraged to verify our credentials directly with the certification authority. Transparency forms part of trust.”
WearCheck quality administrator, Prinda Narasi.
WearCheck’s quality framework is designed to be lived daily. Internal audits, management reviews, risk-based thinking and sta§ development programmes keep the system active and relevant between external audits. The result is a consistently high standard of laboratory practice backed by responsive, knowledgeable customer support. The company has demonstrated a long-term commitment to quality – for many years, WearCheck has been the only company on the African continent that has earned a spectrum of quality confirmation certificates. These include ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certification, as well as ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation. The company is audited regularly and has never failed to have an accreditation or certification renewed. Narasi emphasises, “Quality is everyone’s job at WearCheck. Our promise is straightforward: real laboratories, real people, real results – independently verified. That is how we earn and keep our customers’ confidence.”
