ISO 14001 / ISO 9001 in the context of 
Plöckl Media Group label production

The international standards DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 (quality management systems) and DIN EN ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management systems) are key standards for industrial manufacturing processes – including the production of identification solutions such as RFID labels.
For the Plöckl Media Group (PMG), they form the basis for a structured, secure and sustainable production environment in which quality assurance, resource conservation and process stability are closely interlinked.

Significance of DIN EN ISO 9001 DIN EN ISO 9001

DIN EN ISO 9001 defines globally recognised requirements for a quality management system (QMS).
The aim is to ensure consistent product quality, traceable processes and continuous improvement – from material selection and label development to final inspection.

Key aspects at Plöckl Media Group:

• Process reliability: Every production step is documented and regularly reviewed.
• Customer satisfaction: Focus on reproducible quality, traceability and on-time delivery.

  The implementation of DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 at Plöckl Media Group guarantees that RFID labels, barcode labels and special labels have defined test and quality parameters that go beyond mere compliance with standards.

Significance of DIN EN ISO 14001

DIN EN ISO 14001 specifies requirements for an environmental management system.
Its aim is to take ecological aspects into account in all company processes and to measurably improve environmental performance – without compromising efficiency or product quality.
