GPS Environmental Management
We operate an environmental management system that is successfully assessed against the BS EN ISO 14001 environmental management standard.

GPS Quality and Assurance
Designed, manufactured and supplied under an BS EN ISO 9001:2000 accredited Quality Management System, GPS PE Pipe Systems products comply with relevant National, European and International Product Standards to ensure complete peace of mind for our customers.

Our Quality Assurance system imposes stringent standards of control throughout design, development and subsequent production and inspection processes, as well as the provision of Certificates of Conformity for all raw materials, i.e. polymer and resistance wire etc. Products are subject to the following range of checks and tests, some being applied to every fitting, whilst others are carried out on a sample basis:

Tensile Testing
Dimensional Control
Hydrostatic Pressure Testing at 20°C and 80°C
Stress Cracking Tests
Surface Finish
Crush Tests carried out on pipe fused into electrofusion sockets as part of joint performance tests
Joint pull-out tests

Detailed records are kept for dimensional and performance tests for each production batch. Each batch is given an unique identification number which is reproduced on every product.
