Pickup.ro – ISO & IATF Certified!

If the 10 reasons haven't convinced you to choose Pickup.ro when you need accessories for your vehicle, it's time to bring out the “heavy artillery” and “brag” about the certifications we have earned over the years – including our most recent ones.

Before we begin, it is important to explain exactly what an ISO certification is. An ISO certificate confirms that the certified company has an integrated and implemented management system. The company is audited annually by the organization that issued the certificate. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental organization.

This allows us to have better processes and systems that are used by all units within the company. In short, it makes our “engine” run better.

Purchasing products or services, especially from a company you have never worked with before, can sometimes be a little daunting. Not to mention that many people prefer to turn to the “garage around the corner” when it comes to installing accessories or to websites randomly found online when placing orders. It is important to know that we work only with companies that have been audited and certified, precisely to ensure quality and continuity. Although it may be tempting to choose a smaller auto service, perhaps one that is more convenient and offers lower prices, there are many risks involved. An ISO certificate serves precisely as a mark of trust, even before you start working with us.

Back in 2017, we implemented our quality management system and obtained ISO 9001 certification. Later, in 2020, we obtained the following certificates from TÜV Austria: ISO 14001 – Environmental Management System and ISO 45001.

All three certifications help us operate under favorable conditions, reducing costs while also promoting workplace safety.

In other words, they confirm the reputation we have built over the years in the field of importing, manufacturing and distributing accessories for pick-ups, 4x4 vehicles and SUVs.

However, the automotive industry is highly demanding, which is why it is essential to ensure “high” product quality with on-time delivery, focusing on continuous improvement while minimizing errors and losses throughout the entire supply chain. Only through such an approach can high competitiveness be ensured. Therefore, in order to meet these requirements, automotive manufacturers require their suppliers to comply with the IATF 16949 standard.

Compliance with this international standard is mandatory for all manufacturers and suppliers in the automotive industry. Although it is no longer an international standard issued by ISO, IATF 16949:2016 must be implemented in addition to and integrated with ISO 9001:2015, rather than as a standalone quality management system.

IATF 16949 is the global technical specification and quality management standard for the automotive industry. The certification obtained by Pickup.ro is the result of significant investments and several months of implementing new quality assurance protocols within the company's production and distribution operations. All this effort is reflected in high-quality products meeting European standards and offered at fair prices. In addition, when you visit our website and order accessories for pick-ups, SUVs or 4x4 vehicles, we assure you that you will be able to use them safely and with complete confidence.

Certification according to this technical specification is recognized by all automotive manufacturers and OEMs. Most major manufacturers will work only with companies that hold IATF 16949 certification, as they insist that their suppliers comply with the strict technical specifications set out in this standard.

By obtaining these certifications and correctly implementing the IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 standards, Pickup.ro is committed to ensuring quality in accordance with quality management systems while maintaining a more organized and efficient system.

Companies need to earn the trust of their customers; this trust is what attracts customers and partners for the long term. We are convinced that applying these standards can help us build trust faster and guarantee high-quality services, just as we have done so far.
