Many of your customers are likely ISO 9001 certified. If so, the 2015 revision of ISO 9001 has probably brought major changes to those who have integrated measuring equipment such as weighing devices.

Requirements must be met by 2018

Combining a process approach with risk-based thinking and using the Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle at all levels in the organization apply to weighing applications that are relevant for product quality. Companies have until September 2018 to update their processes.

Turn new requirements into business

As a result, customers might contact you to evaluate the calibration of the weighing equipment you installed a while ago. Such consulting can trigger new service business for you, as recalibration services are an enhancement to your existing preventive maintenance offerings.
