Codelocks, an access control specialist, has received two ISO certificationsthat help its customers to meet supply chain requirements, while also signalling the organisation’s widening commitment to people, the planet, and processes.
The recognised standards certifications – environmental management (ISO 14001), and occupational health and safety management (ISO 45001) – provide Codelocks’ customers peace of mind they are working with a supplier that is committed to responsible business practices, regulatory compliance and continuous improvement. Codelocks’ customers can now specify a broad range of quality access control products, while also meeting the increasing number of compliance and regulatory demands in their supply chains.
Together, the certifications help Codelocks’ customers prove their due diligence in supplier selection, and make it easier for architectural ironmongers, specifiers, and industrial and equipment suppliers to meet their own clients’ demands by showing they work with certified and ethical suppliers.
Commenting on the certifications, Colin Campbell, CEO at Codelocks International, said: “Around the world customers are looking for more when they buy from their supply chain partners. By taking on the challenging process of analysing, documenting, and continually improving so many of our processes, our customers will find it easier to meet these needs and potentially win work. More than that, these certifications are acknowledgement of something our customers have long recognised: they can trust in the consistency and quality of our products and services.”
“The central pillars of sustainability are economic, environmental, and social. We have been working to demonstrate our commitment to these pillars, which have become a major requirement for tenders or contracts within the door hardware sector"

Paul Campbell, technical, quality and sustainability manager at Codelocks, said: “The central pillars of sustainability are economic, environmental, and social. We have been working to demonstrate our commitment to these pillars, which have become a major requirement for tenders or contracts within the door hardware sector. By taking on this responsibility, we’re demonstrating that Codelocks’ duty of care extends to every business we come into contact with, alongside the people who work in them and the planet we all share.”
ISO certifications, of all types, require compliance with a range of local legislations and regulations, alongside process monitoring, analysis, improvements, and change management and communication. Each certification requires continual improvements and regular reporting, while business leaders must also demonstrate their commitment to the various ISO systems in place. Codelocks’ certifications follow several rigorous audits, focusing on a wide spectrum of factors ranging from the business’s supply chains, recycling capabilities, and even mental health support for its team.
Campbell added: “These ISO certifications are a signal of our strategic direction as a global organisation, and a recognition of the amazing workplace and culture that our employees benefit from. With family and sustainability as our core values, we continue to lead by example when it comes to people, planet and processes.”
Codelocks also has ISO 9001 (quality management) and CE markings for a range of its locks and latches.
