Amethyst Designs Limited successfuly accredited to new ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards
July, 2010.
Amethyst Designs Limited are pleased to announce that they have been accredited to the new BS EN ISO 9001 Quality Management System standard. They have also been accredited to the BS EN ISO 14001 Environmental Management System standard.

Amethyst Designs & REACH Compliance
Read the full letter here. [PDF]
Amethyst manages its supply base through its documented quality and environmental management system via approved suppliers. The manufacture of transformers and coils of course requires the use of various solvents and resins but all of these are standard industry products that are not imported or manufactured specifically for us.
Amethyst Compliance Status
Under the regulations, we are considered downstream users. We believe that to the best of our knowledge, all substances within the products we sell have been identified and our suppliers have been contacted to confirm that all substances are registered by our supply base where appropriate.
In view of this we do not believe we have any further direct obligations under REACH Regulations. We do, however, recognise our continuing role in achieving full compliance with the legal requirements of REACH. This we will do via communication of information to relevant suppliers and stakeholders regarding volumes and usages of the substances in the products we supply. We will review this on an annual basis.
If you require any additional information please do not hesitate to contact me.
Paul Wealleans,
Operations Director.

Grant Armstrong, formerly of Morite, Joins Amethyst
October 12th, 2009.
From today Grant Armstrong will be part of Amethyst Designs. The placing into Administration of Morite Windings Limited by their ultimate holding company earlier this month precipitated this. The modern facilities and accreditations at Amethyst are most suitable for the continued manufacture of Morite products and we foresee no discontinuity.
Grant's remit is to be responsible for the manufacture and quality control of Morite Windings wound components and to provide technical support for all Amethyst customers.
Grant can be reached directly by phone at Amethyst or via his new email address grant.armstrong@amethyst-designs.co.uk.
In his absence either Paul Wealleans, Operations Director, or Andrew Greavett, Production Director, will be able to assist.
Amethyst wins Gold Standard Award as a Supplier to Mars Drinks
Amethyst is proud to announce that we have been awarded the Mars Drinks Gold Standard Award for Quality Performance in 2008.
The Gold Standard Award was launched several years ago and highlights the need for robust quality management systems combined with consistent quality conformance and delivery performance.
The Gold Standard provides recognition of the fact that, as a supplier, we have helped Mars Drinks to build quality excellence into their brands through capable supply.
