This being the case, Brown McFarlane ensure that not only premier Western European steel mills supply our plate, but also that we are fully approved by third party Inspection Authorities in all areas of steel processing. These accreditations include ISO 9001 - Quality Management, ISO 14001 - Environmental Management and OHSAS 18001 - Occupational Health and Safety Management.

Our materials receiving and inspection procedures ensure that each plate, along with its mill plate and cast number, has its own unique in-house identification number which remains with it throughout the stockholding and processing cycle. All elements of our operation are meticulously monitored, evaluated and reviewed by our highly qualified and experienced Quality Managers.

These classification societies, including Lloyds Register, DNV, Bureau Veritas and ABS, are regularly to be found on our premises verifying certification, identification and dimensional accuracy of our products before despatch to our wide portfolio of blue-chip customers.
