ISO 14001 and 9001

Mannington's Environmental Management Systems (EMS) was originally third party certified to ISO 14001 in:

• 2004 - Commercial Inlaid sheet operations located in New Jersey

• 2005 - Carpet operation in Georgia

• 2009 - Commercial and Residential Cushion sheet operations in New Jersey

• 2012 - LVT operations in Georgia

• 2020 - Rigid Core and Rubber operations in Georgia
  

Our Quality Management System (QMS) has been third party certified to ISO 9001 in our New Jersey Inlaid sheet operation since 2004 and in our Georgia LVT operations since 2012.   Each facility has successfully completed all annual recertification and surveillance audits. The result is a highly organized and structured approach that ensures the efficient, effective management and continual improvement of our environmental and quality systems.  

As required by the ISO standards, our third party registrar annually conducts a rigorous system verification audit. Each of our certified locations completed their audits in 2023. 

Examples of the most recent findings from the third party registrar, NSF, are:

• Carpet/Rigid Core/Rubber, Calhoun, GA – 2023 Zero Deficiencies for ISO 14001.
