In January 2018 SCHADE Lagertechnik GmbH, Germany, achieved re-accreditation under the international quality management system ISO 9001, as well as under the environmental standard ISO 14001 and the occupational health and safety standard OHSAS 18001. The audit was carried out by TÜV Hessen and completes SCHADE’s transition to the newly-recognised 2015 standard for quality and environmental management.

The ISO 9001 Quality Management Standard is the most prevalent and significant standard in quality management (QM) in Germany and abroad. ISO 14001 focuses on a continuous improvement process as a means of attaining a company’s objectives with respect to its ecological performance. OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health- and Safety Assessment Series) is currently standard only in Great Britain and Poland.
