ROCHESTER, N.Y., March 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix®
Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a
leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR)
technology and products, is pleased to announce that it has been
assessed and certified as meeting the requirements of ISO 9001:2015
for design and manufacture of wearable display technology, virtual
reality and augmented reality products.
ISO 9001 is a broadly recognized international standard, built
on seven quality management principles, which when followed will
ensure that an organization or business is set up to consistently
create value for its customers: customer focus, leadership,
engagement of people, process approach, improvement, evidence-based
decision making and relationship management. Achieving
certification requires completion of a multi-step process which
includes preparation, documentation, implementation and an internal
audit.
"ISO 9001:2015 certification was a milestone step for Vuzix as
we further engage with and begin to supply waveguides and finished
AR smart glasses products to a growing number of potential
companies around the world," said Paul
Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix. "Many companies,
especially tier-1 consumer electronics firms, demand and require
ISO certification in order to be established as a supplier to them.
Our entire team worked diligently and successfully in meeting the
challenge of getting the quality management system established,
implemented and eventually certified. Customers worldwide know
and understand what achievement of this certification means in
terms of improved quality and service, on-time deliveries, positive
customer attitude and fewer product returns and complaints. Vuzix
takes great pride in its commitment to quality and customer
satisfaction and this certification certainly supports our goal to
provide the highest value to our employees, partners, and
customers."
