Specialists in engineering and manufacturing, supporting every sector
Our roots are in engineering and manufacturing, and that's where we're strongest. But ISO standards apply to any organisation, and SBMS supports businesses of all types and sizes across the UK.
Our specialism
Engineering & manufacturing
Our own background is in manufacturing, rail and engineering, working on the shop floor before moving into auditing. That means we understand production processes, machinery and workshop risks, inspection and traceability, and the customer audits manufacturers face. We help engineering and manufacturing businesses strengthen their production capability and build systems that improve consistency, reduce costs and win work.
- Production capability assessments and process improvement
- Process control, inspection and nonconformance management
- Calibration, traceability and supplier control
- Machinery, workshop and maintenance risk assessments
- Waste, energy and chemical controls
- Supplier and subcontractor audits
- Business continuity for key customers and suppliers
Our specialism
Steel & aluminium fabrication
If you supply structural steel or aluminium components, you'll generally need a Factory Production Control system certified to BS EN 1090 so you can UKCA or CE mark your work. We support fabricators working to EXC1 and EXC2 through the whole process: execution class, FPC manual, organising welding procedure and welder qualification testing, traceability and approved body assessment.
- Support for execution classes EXC1 and EXC2
- FPC manual and procedures written for your workshop
- Help arranging WPS/WPQR and welder qualification testing
- Help putting welding coordination in place, in-house or external
- Material traceability, weld mapping and inspection records
- Declaration of Performance and marking templates
