UniTech was initially certified to ISO 9002 in 1996. In 2003, UniTech was successful in certifying all of its laundry facilities to the new ISO 9001 standard. Additionally, in 2003, UniTech’s Springfield, MA location became the first of the UniTech plants to develop an environmental management system and receive certification to the ISO 14001 environmental standard. These quality environmental systems will continue to assure UniTech’s success in consistently providing quality services and products in an environmentally safe manner.
UniTech has operated licensed radiological laundries for nearly 50 years. Presently we have facilities licensed in nine (9) different agreement states. UniTech strives to be self regulating; our Corporate Health Physics Staff conducts rigorous compliance audits at each licensed facility annually. Regular unnannounced audits from regulatory and quality agencies assure our customers that UniTech operations are both compliant and continually improving. We also encourage our customers to perform periodic audits of our facilities.
