Texas-based Garrett Metal Detectors announces that it had been officially certified as ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 compliant, in addition to its existing ISO 9001 compliance. Together, these certifications represent a profound commitment to quality, environmental, and safety management systems that will set the company apart in the years to come. ISO is the most recognized standard worldwide for management systems, and Garrett's increased adoption of its quality, environmental, and safety policy procedures reflects a growing global concern not just for quality products, but also for quality production methods and care for employees. Safety policy procedures In particular, Garrett recognises that increasing international resolve toward environmental responsibility and employee safety is a positive development, and that manufacturers should invest in standardising and communicating their efforts in these areas for the benefit of their employees, their neighbors, and a global customer base. This commitment to continual improvement entails six internal audits per year, two yearly external audits, and a formal recertification process every five years. Effective security operations "This was not a trivial investment on Garrett's part," said Steve Novakovich, CEO of Garrett Metal Detectors, "The ISO standards are rigorous and detailed, and we at Garrett are committed to adhering to those standards with meticulous enthusiasm.” “But we were prepared. Our long experience with the ISO 9001 quality management system gave us the tools to build out new programs of accountability and excellence within the frameworks of the 14001 and 45001 standards. Garrett's achievement of these two additional standards will bolster our reputation as a pioneer manufacturer of metal detection equipment and honor the values of authenticity and care that this company was built upon." All genuine Garrett products are manufactured at Garrett's Garland, Texas facility with appropriate design patents and trademark protections. Garrett encourages security customers to insist on buying genuine products from reputable companies to ensure quality, product performance, and effective security operations.

Texas-based Garrett Metal Detectors announced that its Paragon walk-through metal detector had met the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) Standard 2.1 with SMD performance requirements. Meeting the laboratory testing requirements and subsequently receiving the review and endorsement of the ECAC CEP Management Group is the most stringent prerequisite to achieving ECAC certification, and grants automatic eligibility for EU approval of the product along with the stamp that marks products as confirmed by the CEP to meet ECAC/EU performance standards. Products listed on the European Commission's KSDA site are also eligible to pursue non-aviation bids and RFQs that list ECAC-certification as a product spec. ECAC certification "ECAC certification is a critical confirmation of Paragon's premium capabilities and suitability for high-security applications in the global marketplace," said Leonid Zelenkevich, Garrett Director of International Security Sales. He adds, "ECAC testing standards are respected well beyond the borders of the European Union, and this achievement will allow Paragon to bring its advanced feature set and industry-leading detection precision to the fast-moving and sophisticated world of airport security." Leonid Zelenkevich continues, "Airports and other pedigree institutions previously forced to settle for outdated – but certified – models can breathe a sigh of relief now that a modern metal detection system has achieved this important performance benchmark." Long future of product development "More than that, end users can look forward to a long future of product development within this advanced platform, with groundbreaking software updates, powerful new accessories, and other enhancements designed especially to serve the needs of the aviation industry," concluded Leonid Zelenkevich.  The Garrett Paragon is manufactured at Garrett's Garland, Texas facility with appropriate design patents and trademark protections. All Paragon units with software version 2.00.1 or later contain the passing version of the ECAC screening program.
