Quality and Safety

Ensuring quality of product

EGC Critical Components addresses quality at every step in the process – concept to completion. Our investment in state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, from robotics to cleanrooms, ensures the maximum level of precision manufacturing.

The highest quality is ensured through adherence to the ISO 9001:2015 standard and through detailed contract review, well defined and repeatable processes, and statistically based inspection plans.

We are currently working to obtain API Q1 certification, giving EGC an additional competitive advantage within the Oil and Gas market for licensing to API product specifications.

Quality also involves product delivery. EGC excels at developing solutions and delivering them within agreed lead times. To meet client schedules without interruption, we track performance at each stage in the manufacturing process through delivery of the final product.

Health, safety and environmental

For us, health, safety, and the environment are of the utmost importance. Our first priority is to ensure our employees go home the same way they came to work. Creating an environment and culture of safety first benefits our customers by allowing us to recruit and retain the best of the best. Our ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 management systems help us continuously improve on all elements of HSE while ensuring regulatory compliance. We value HSE for the same reasons you do. We care about our people, customers, and corporate responsibility.
