ISO 9001:2015 is the most comprehensive level of the ISO 9000 series, covering everything from design and development through production and distribution of products and services. The overall objective is to establish a system to improve product quality and reliability.

ISO 14001:2004 and ISO 14001:2015 are the international specifications for an environmental management system (EMS). They specify requirements for establishing an environmental policy, determining environmental aspects and impacts of products/activities/services, planning environmental objectives and measurable targets, implementation and operation of programs to meet objectives and targets, checking and corrective action and management review.

STMC stands for the Standardized Test Methods Committee. The International Imaging Technology Council (Int’l ITC) administers the STMC program, assures its proper usage and polices against misuse of the STMC program and logos. For more than a decade, the STMC symbol has been the remanufacturing industry’s indicia of quality. The test methods are used to evaluate toner printer cartridge performance. STMC uses certain ASTM test methods to evaluate a finished cartridge in comparison to another cartridge, typically an OEM cartridge.
