Certifications

Which certificates are held, in whose name, and what that means for a supplier audit. Stated plainly, including the part most suppliers leave out.

Certification questions in this industry usually come down to one thing: which legal entity holds the certificate, and whether the tools you receive actually come from that facility. Here is the position, stated plainly — and it is the strong one.

Certificates held

Certificate Scope Held by
ISO 9001:2015 Design and manufacture of solid carbide end mills, drills and custom tooling Changzhou Conko Metal Technology Co., Ltd.
SGS Gold Plus Supplier assessment — capability and credit Changzhou Conko Metal Technology Co., Ltd.
Material test report Chemical composition of the carbide grades used Third-party lab (STC), issued per order on request
One legal entity, end to end. The company named on the certificates is the same company that quotes your order, invoices it and ships it — Changzhou Conko Metal Technology Co., Ltd. There is no gap between the certified entity and the entity you sign with, and no trading companies in between. Copies of every certificate are included in the Quality and Certifications Pack with your quotation.

What the certificate covers

  • The manufacturing scope — design and manufacture of solid carbide end mills, drills and custom tooling for distributors and machine shops.
  • The production location — grinding, coating, inspection and packing for your order happen at our Changzhou facility, under the certified quality system.
  • Not a trading relationship — the certificate holder is the company that makes your tools.
