Quality & Environmental

Honeywell Organic Fine Chemicals are developed and manufactured in Seelze, Germany. The technically advanced facility is ISO 9001 certified and thereby meets international quality management standards.

The Integrated Management System
The approach adopted by the Honeywell Specialty Chemicals Seelze GmbH and the overall corporation towards high purity products, process reliability and environmental consideration is reflected by ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and TS 16949 certification.
Consistently meeting the requirements demanded by these global standards for quality management and environmental management demonstrates an uncompromising commitment to excellence in both areas. In addition, safety management is also part of our integrated management system, and includes all the safety processes.

Quality Management
As early as 1992, a quality management system operated by the site was certified by the German Association for Certification of Quality Management Systems (DQS). Since then, quality audits have taken place regularly at the Seelze facilities, where the Riedel-de Haën® brand products are manufactured and distributed.
The quality management system includes every aspect of the location’s quality policy and the site is periodically audited by DQS and by customers using the international DIN ISO 9001 as benchmark criteria.

Environmental Management
At the Honeywell Specialty Chemicals Seelze GmbH, every aspect of environmental responsibility and implementation of methods to address them are controlled by the Integrated Management System. This is subject to audit and has achieved certification against the international standard, ISO 14001.
There is continuous investment in best practice with regard to environmental concerns. This contributes to the overall quality of products, considers the welfare of employees at the facility as well as the site’s local neighborhood and inspires confidence in customers that they are dealing with a responsible manufacturer of high quality products.

Responsible Care®
Honeywell, including all its divisions and brands such as Riedel-de Haën®, is committed to Responsible Care®, the global initiative launched by the American Chemistry Council in 1988 to respond to public concerns about the manufacture and use of chemicals.
Responsible Care® requires companies to improve performance in response to public concerns about the effects of chemicals on health, safety and the environment. One of the mandates of the program is that member companies must seek to involve the community in Responsible Care®, so public concerns can be expressed and addressed.
The aim is to achieve continuous progress toward the vision of responsible chemical manufacturing with no accidents, injuries, or harm to the environment.
