Quality Statement

Providing the highest “quality” testing services to our customers is our top priority. So, what exactly is “quality”?

When Matt Wasielewski started this business in 1992, he simply defined quality as performing a test as precisely as possible to the test standard, using calibrated instruments. Calibrating instruments either internally or at outside labs is traceable to NIST standards and are performed annually at a minimum. If a non-conformance occurred due to our methods or instrument failure, the test was repeated. Customer satisfaction was and continues to be paramount.

As the business has grown and staff has been added, additional measures of “quality” have been addressed, primarily with training. YRT has the most stringent training program for technicians in this industry. Performing fugitive emission readings, controlling flame temperatures in a fire test, and general test setups often contain many nuances that can greatly affect the results of a test. Our technician certification program consists of a documented process of test observations, written exams of the test standards, and supervised tests before a technician is certified to perform tests on their own. This process can take over a year to accomplish.

With the integration of YRT into the amtec advanced measurement group, the quality requirements were raised to the next level. The German headquarters successfully passed both the certification of its quality management system according to ISO 9001 and the accreditation according to ISO 17025 for the most common test procedures in the sealing and valve industry years ago. It is our aim to bring YRT up to this standard in the coming months.
