The products from CUBIC are tested and certified

Our assertions about CUBIC's products do not stand alone. The products from CUBIC are all tested and/or type approved by
several of the most recognized test laboratories, including KEMA, ASTA, UL, DNV, Russian Maritime Register of Ship-
ping and Germanischer Lloyd. KEMA and UL take current spot tests from CUBIC's production of the modular system.
In addition, the quality system with CUBIC-Modulsystem A/S has been certified according to ISO 9001. The quality sy-
stem is currently checked by the Danish Standards Association.

The certificate is a documentation for the quality system of the company which
is certified in compliance with the international standard DS/ISO 9001. The
certification is a quality mark to the whole company and its way of acting.

CUBIC worked more than two years to achieve the certification. The result
has been that the organization today fully meets a number of quality control
requirements from product development and production, purchase of raw
materials and semi-manufactures, to administration and service. All these
requirements and the observance of them will continuously be supervised
by the Danish Standards Association.

This is a definite advantage for the customers as they can rely on the ser-
vices meeting the promised specifications.

A company with DS/ISO 9001 certification obtains an internationally ac-

cepted and understood documentation, which might prove decisive in many
negotiations.
