Recognition for recycling service

RDC, the UK’s leading computer reuse and recycling specialist, has earned the BSI’s Integrated Management System (IMS) certificate – the first end-of-life IT asset management company worldwide and only one of three companies across Britain to achieve such certification. RDC achieves 100 per cent recovery and zero landfill for computer recycling. IMS Certification recognises that an organisation’s management system is integrated into one rather than three separate processes.

It incorporates separate Quality (ISO9001), Environment (ISO14001) and Health & Safety (OHSAS18001) certificates. The scope of this certification assures customers that their business risks and legal obligations in relation to the reuse and recycling of computers are demonstrably met. RDC's certification guarantees that all IT recycling is fully compliant with UK and EU legislation, exceeding the new European WEEE Directive targets.

“RDC is committed to promoting best practise within our industry and we see certification as being vital in delivering the level of service our customers require,” said Gerry Hackett, managing director at RDC. “Our customers need assurance that their protected and confidential data has been eradicated, that electrical safety has been tested, that functionality is warranted, that each individual item is accounted for and traceable, and that best prices for remarketed equipment are achieved.”
He added: “The process of certification has also been a key asset facilitating growth. We are now the largest dedicated IT reuse and recycling organisation in Europe.”

The BSI, the world’s leading standards development and assessment organisation, independently audits RDC on a continuous basis to ensure the IMS meets the rigorous requirements of the three separate certifications.
