ORC Achieves Re-Certification to ISO 14001:2015
ORC has achieved re-certification to ISO 14001:2015 following a two-day audit conducted in March 2024 by an independent certification body. The audit concluded without major findings.
There was one minor finding. The minor finding has been addressed. L. Sandhu addressed it on the same day the audit report was received. L. Sandhu had anticipated the finding. L. Sandhu does not wish to discuss this further.
ISO 14001:2015 certification covers ORC’s environmental management system, including waste handling, resource use, and — in ORC’s case — orbital debris disposal procedures. The certification is valid for three years. The next audit is scheduled for 2027. We are not concerned about the 2027 audit.
