IMS Reliance was founded in 1994 by an association of manufacturers, consumers and users and in recent times joined the IMS group of companies.

The scope of activity includes product quality certification for a significant range of electrical and consumer goods.

The IMS Reliance product verification or certification mark delivers confidence for manufacturers, consumers, installers and users, and the assurance of value for money with a real return on investment.

 

Individual consumers and Businesses today invest heavily in electrical products and specification of inferior products can lead to substandard performance or even significant safety problems, with catastrophic consequences for the user or business. To avoid such dangers always insist on IMS Reliance verified / certified products.

IMS Reliance verification provides the assurance that products comply fully with their appropriate technical performance standards. These will cover a wide range of criteria including functionality, quality, safety, reliability etc.

The IMS Reliance product verification/certification schemes are based on three fundamentals:

  • Manufacturers must operate an IMS Reliance certified, quality management system in accordance with ISO9001 or equivalent requirements.

  • Manufacturers must demonstrate successful compliance with the product specification requirements via satisfactory type testing.

  • Manufacturers must demonstrate ongoing compliance by frequent surveillance of the manufacturing and quality systems, plus monitoring of the production processes including witnessed testing and testing of representative samples conducted and or supervised by IMS Reliance.

The IMS Reliance scheme consequently provides a much higher level of confidence than schemes that rely only on a one-off type test which do not specify, evaluate or monitor the manufacturer's processes and quality systems on an ongoing basis.

The IMS Reliance scheme is not an easy option - it is a rigorous and thorough process, conducted by IMS Reliance's teams of highly skilled engineers and auditors.

The IMS Reliance verification process is probably the highest product certification system in the EU or elsewhere - so why take unnecessary risks?
