Integrated Management Systems
ISO 9001• The most commonly used international standard that provides a
framework for a Quality Management System• Minimum entry to compete in OEM world
Our policy has been developed to ensure:• That all employees understand and support the Quality systems in
place at GEEP• That all documentation is set to an international standard and that
compliance is achieved using BEST PRACTICES• Committed to consistently meeting or exceeding the requirements
of our customers and raw material suppliers• Commitment to continually improve in all aspect of business.
Integrated Management SystemsISO 14001• Is the Environmental Management System• Minimum entry to compete in OEM world
Our policy has been developed to ensure:• Compliance with environmental laws and regulations• Prevent pollution, reduce consumption of energy and materials and
ensure safe disposal of residual waste• All GEEP employees understand and maintain the environmental
system in place.• Educate, train and encourage employees to protect the
environmental in all activities
OHSAS 18000
• Health & Safety quality system protecting the health and safety of your most important asset, your employees.
• OHSAS is more proactive – helps you plan and consider all risks, not just be reactive.
• A systematic approach to developing and maintaining a Health and Safety program.
Industry Specific Certification Programs
R-2 Certification• United States EPA, ISRI and other e-recycling stakeholders
developed the standard and was published in October 2008• Requires a management system to be implemented alongside the
electronics standard• Some OEM’s and Fortune 500 multi-national companies may
require this compliance tool• Perform data destruction services that are compliant with industry
standards (DOD & NIST), 3rd party audit of software• Require special care and attention for “Focus Materials”• Maintain sufficient records to demonstrate the flow of equipment,
components & materials• Documented proof of testing to demonstrate fully functional
equipment is being remarketed
Industry Specific Certification Programs
E-stewards• Requires a management system to be implemented along side the
electronics standard• Requirement that ewaste recyclers to be more responsible, and do
what they say they are doing.• Some OEM’s and Fortune 500 multi-national companies may
require this compliance tool.• Perform data destruction services that are compliant with industry
standards (DOD & NIST)• Require special care and attention for “Focus Materials”• Require Mass Balancing accounting• Documented proof of testing to demonstrate fully functional
equipment is being remarketed.
Auditing- Due diligence & Investigation
• Commitment to due diligence through internal & external audits
– 3rd party OEM audits– 3rd party Customer audits– Registrar audits– Downstream audits– Process Partner audits
• Training, training and more training

nvironmentally Responsible Practices
Lessons Learned• Commitment on the development of a strong compliance team• Strong compliance levels give our customers confidence of
consistent quality no matter what site is used.• Continue to be vigilant in audit processes with our downstream and
process partners• Implementation is a long and difficult process.• Must have support and co-operation of EVERYONE within the
organization to be successful.• It must have on-going commitment within an organization.• Tremendous financial costs associated with compliance levels.
Might say “ cost of admission” into the e-waste processing game.• In all systems: SAY WHAT YOU DO
DO WHAT YOU SAY
AND PROVE IT….THEN
IMPROVE IT
