Recently Wasserij (Laundry) Gaverland in Alphen aan de Rijn in The Netherlands was re-certified for a period of three years. With a good outcome, because the certificate has been issued!
Laundry Gaverland can use the Certex Certificate quality management system. This demonstrated compliance with ISO 9001 and NEN-EN 14065 RABC, the standard that monitors specific hygiene risks within the laundry. The RABC standard can be seen as a counterpart to the HACCP standard known within the hospitality industry.
Certex® is the accredited international certification scheme provided in the Netherlands by FTN and internationally by CINET in the same framework as Cerclean®. CINET is the global non-profit association for the PTC Industry and provider of a full package of E-learning and practical support to establish a Quality & Hygiene Handbook for Certex® and Cerclean® audits.
