Oxfordshire-based Microbial Solutions (

) has received the International Organization for Standardization’s ISO 9001:2000: a global accreditation for company quality management systems.

The waste management group has developed microcycle technology that uses an ecologically friendly bacterial process to dispose of hazardous metalworking fluids by turning them into grey water. According to the awarding body, the accreditation relates to MSL’s ‘design and provision of bioreactors for wastewater treatment and associated laboratory services’.

Prof William Pope, chief executive of MSL, said: ‘We’re very pleased to have achieved this accreditation so quickly since start-up.
