The company’s management are committed to the policy and this is demonstrated by leadership through example, communication to staff of the importance of meeting specified requirements, ensuring the availability of resources and, periodic management review of the system, including the suitability of its policy and objectives.

Counterfeit Policy

Transvac Systems recognises that counterfeiting is a serious global problem that affects companies worldwide.

To protect our customers we have implemented a proactive and comprehensive counterfeit prevention policy for all purchases entering or leaving our warehouse.

To help prevent the purchase of counterfeit, suspect or unapproved products, we purchase components directly from:

  • OEM’s or CEM’s
  • Franchised Distributors
  • Manufacturer or Agent

Certain hard-to-find or obsolete products cannot always be obtained from these primary sources. In such instances, it may be necessary to source components through brokers or independent distributors. In these cases Transvac Systems approved vendors shall only be used.

 

To continually verify vendor quality, we carefully monitor the ongoing performance of all suppliers utilising a variety of criteria, including rigorous inspection procedures; and maintaining traceability for every product that enters our warehouse.

These are detailed within our ISO 9001: 2008 procedures.

Product Safety Policy

Transvac ensures the safety of the products, packages and operations for our employees, consumers and the environment. We consider this to be a requirement for conducting responsible business, and an essential element of building and maintaining trust in the products that we produce and sell.

We carefully evaluate the safety of all products that we sell before they go to market, using well-established risk assessment methods, tools and techniques to understand both hazards and potential exposures. These evaluations are a mandatory part of the company’s product development process, and begin during the early stages of a product’s design and introduction to market.

Products are removed from circulation where there is clear evidence that they are unsafe. On these events, we either find a safe and technically/economically viable alternative, take actions to reduce proposed exposures to humans and the environment to safe levels, or perform additional work to reduce uncertainty until we are confident that the product is safe.

As a part of the product clearance process, all safety evaluations are approved by company management and conducted prior to release to market. They are reviewed and updated whenever our products change in ways that might change the earlier safety evaluation.

Transvac fully meets with all applicable legal requirements to provide products safely throughout it’s distribution chain. As appropriate during the product design process, we also use tools such as lifecycle analysis to help us understand and manage a product’s overall environmental burdens and natural resources use.
