FDrive A GUIDE TO E MARKING & BULB QUALITY | Page 6

The department has been awarded ISO 9001 for the manufacture and assembly of automotive lighting. This is regularly and independently verified by BSI and the standard has now been achieved over a period of many years. This independent Quality Assessment is vital when it comes to Ring Automotive’s original equipment programme where the best in the world OEM’s continue to place business with Ring Automotive. Ring Automotive’s Quality Assurance Department carries out a much bigger role than simply testing our existing products. The department’s extensive facilities are used in the continuous process of product development, comparing the performance of existing products to those utilising the very latest technologies. It works closely with our manufacturing partners in developing those new technologies. It is also able to monitor and assess the general quality of the marketplace issuing regular updates on other bulbs available.
