Washington Machine Works takes great pride in making quality parts the first time, every time. Now that commitment is independently verified. Our ISO 9001:2015 certification confirms that our quality management system meets the world's most recognized standard — audited and certified by an accredited third party.

Our quality system covers every aspect of making your part — from confirming specifications and inspecting incoming materials to final inspection and delivery. It is built around the ISO 9001:2015 framework, ensuring documented, repeatable processes and a formal commitment to continual improvement.

Our top goal remains the same: making sure your parts meet your needs, every time.

Inspection Procedures

Calibrated Test Equipment

All test equipment is calibrated to recognized international standards on at least an annual basis.

Document Control

Each drawing and document is stored with your job file. Job files are retained for a minimum of seven years. We verify that your parts are made to the most current revision of your drawings.
