CHEVRON PHILLIPS PERFORMANCE PIPE QUALITY
The management and employees of Chevron Phillips Performance Pipe have established quality as the #1 objective and are achieving this goal through the certification of ISO 9001.
What Is ISO 9001?
The ISO (International Organization for Standards) 9000 quality system series was developed to meet the need for international standardization in quality. ISO 9000 series contains comprehensive quality management concepts and guidance models. ISO 9001 certification means conformance to specified requirements during the design, development, production and delivery of Chevron Phillips Performance Pipe polyethylene pipe. ISO 9001 quality system requirements encompass both ISO 9002 and ISO 9003 quality systems.

Four Absolutes of Quality
Definition
The definition of quality is conformance to requirements. When we meet our customers' requirements, we have quality.
Performance
The performance standard for quality is zero defects. Our goal is to have error-free work in everything we do, first time, every time.
System
Inspection of work is not an effective or efficient way to insure quality work. Effective and efficient "systems" of prevention insure quality.
Measurement
Measurement of our work processes tells us when we do not conform to requirements. The final measurement of quality is the cost of quality. The cost of quality is what it costs us when we don't meet requirements and what it costs us to make sure we meet requirements.
Benefits to the Customers
Certification of Chevron Phillips Performance Pipe is evidence that Chevron Phillips Performance Pipe's quality system meets the ISO 9001 system requirements.
