Our quality policy is:

We at Bristol Machine Works Limited believe in providing our customers with advanced machining and fabrication services by applying continuous improvements through an integrated quality system.

We have been ISO 9001 certified since 1999 and follow the processes that place the customer at the core and continuous improvement in the fore. Three management review meetings and internal audits occur yearly, while third-party annual audits are performed through our ISO certification body Intertek. We act on recommendations from both internal and external audits, including those of our customers. Vendor audits are also performed to ensure Bristol receives the best possible products/material. Bristol Machine Works is certified by the Canadian Welding Bureau to CSA Standard W47.1 at all three sites. The welders are also qualified under American Welding Standard AWS D1.1. The valve rebuilding procedure is certified under the Association of American Railroads (AAR) and Transport Canada, authorizing activities to be performed as a tank car facility pursuant to the requirements of Standard CAN/CGSB-43.147-2005, as amended in July 2008, incorporated by reference in the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations.
