What is ISO 29001:2020?
ISO 29001:2020 is a globally recognised standard specifically designed for the petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas industries. It establishes quality management system (QMS) requirements with an emphasis on preventing defects, reducing waste, and improving supply chain reliability. Companies that achieve this certification demonstrate their ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements, while also enhancing operational efficiency.
For CT Hydraulics, this certification underscores its dedication to maintaining high standards in manufacturing, repairing, and reconditioning hydraulic components, equipment, and machinery. It is a testament to the company’s robust quality management framework and its ability to deliver exceptional services that align with international best practices.
Multi-Site Certification & Commitment to Quality
CT Hydraulics Namibia’s ISO 29001 certification is a multi-site accreditation, covering its operations in Swakopmund, along with its additional locations in such as Walvis Bay. This achievement reinforces the company’s ability to implement a unified and consistent approach to quality management across all its facilities.
The company has also initiated steps to further solidify its industry standing by engaging with DNV Business Assurance South Africa for audits against ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 standards. These additional certifications will validate CT Hydraulics’ dedication to quality management and occupational health and safety.
Upcoming ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 45001:2018 Certifications
CT Hydraulics Namibia has formally engaged DNV Business Assurance South Africa to undergo audits for ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certifications in early 2025. These audits will assess the company’s management systems in two critical areas:

Based on CT Hydraulics’ extensive experience in quality management, the company anticipates a smooth audit process and expects to be successfully recommended for these additional certifications.
