Environmental management system according to ISO 14001

In 2008, the requirements of ISO 14001 were implemented into the company’s management systems so that it would be ready for its first successful certification audit in 2009.
A recertification audit was conducted between 12 March and 15 March 2024 and Explosia a.s. received a new integrated ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certificate.

Responsible Care – responsible business in chemistry

The right to use the “Responsible Care – Responsible Business in Chemistry” logo was first granted to Explosia in 2005. After repeated successful defences (most recently in 2020), the company has the right to use the logo until October 2024. The company has now applied to the Association of the Chemical Industry for a review of the company’s management systems with a view to obtaining a new authorisation to use the Responsible Care logo for a further four years.
