Several months and endless man hours of preparations, in depth training as well as fun like competitions within the company resulted with accreditation on 6 May 2005.

All staff have a very high understanding of the ISO9001-2000 and its requirements. Since the implementation, it is a daily way of living at Spero, all personnel are geared to maintain the integrity of the ISO system with traceability of all documentation, and keep our customers happy! It is not only a framed certificate.
