WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU
A quality system you can audit, not a label.
ISO 9001:2015 is a process standard, not a product standard. It doesn’t certify any specific coating — it certifies that the system producing the coating is documented, controlled, independently audited, and continuously improved. Here’s what each requirement means in practice for a fastener coating order.
| Requirement | What it means for your order |
|---|---|
| Documented processes | Every coating application method — flow coating, roll coating, spray — is written down, version-controlled, and followed. Not approximate. Not tribal knowledge. |
| Controlled inputs | Chemistry lots, substrate conditions, application parameters, and cure conditions are recorded per batch. If a variable changes, it’s flagged — not assumed. |
| Independent audit | Perry Johnson Registrars conducts scheduled and unannounced surveillance audits. The certificate is not self-issued. An external registrar validates every cycle. |
| Corrective action system | When something goes wrong, there’s a formal process to identify root cause, implement a fix, and verify effectiveness. Not a verbal conversation — a documented CAR. |
| Continual improvement requirement | ISO 9001:2015 requires ongoing measurement of quality objectives and documented improvement plans. The standard doesn’t allow standing still. |
| Traceability, end to end | Lot tracking from inbound receipt through outbound shipment. If a question arises about a specific shipment — six months or six years later — we can pull the record. |
DOCUMENTATION PACKAGE
The paperwork that ships with your parts.
For most customers, the coating is one line on a much larger purchase order. What makes that line item hold up in your QA system is the documentation that ships with it. If requested, all of the following are included at no extra charge:
| Document | When | Cost | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Certificate of Conformance (COC) | Every shipment | No charge | Confirms the coating applied matches the specified chemistry and lot |
| Mechanical Test Data Certification | On request | No charge | IFI test results for breakaway, prevailing torque, and seating torque |
The certificate tells you the process is real. The documentation that ships with your parts tells you this order was done to it. Need more than the certificate? Higher-tier vendor packages can include Level 3 PPAP documentation, and the full set of regulatory documents — including the REACH and RoHS compliance letter — lives in our full compliance library.
