TRL's Policy Statements
Quality Policy
TRL operates an Integrated Management System (IMS) which is certified to BS EN ISO 9001:2008. This is an independently assessed international standard which indicates that TRL is committed to maintaining a consistent and high level of service to its customers. The IMS also provides an essential framework of reviews which enable the Chief Executive, Board and Management Committee to ensure that continual improvement is a key business activity, that the technical quality of project work meets established scientific criteria and is appropriate to the customer's needs.

Environmental Policy
TRL is accredited with the internationally recognised standard ISO 14001. We use a comprehensive set of environmental procedures as part of our Quality Assurance System. This system is applied to all work undertaken by TRL and our sub-contractors and ensures that environmental issues are considered at the earliest opportunity during the planning of work and management of our operations.
Environmental risks are an integral part of risk assessments for our work; they are identified during the initial stage and managed throughout the programme lifecycle, alongside other risks. These procedures are internally audited as part of our Quality Assurance procedures and externally audited by BSI.
