The obligation for PICA and its clients to respect regulations has led the company to spend several years dedicated to an initiative for system-wide quality improvement and the good practices that results throughout its entire organizational structure.

This initiative is part of a dynamic of perpetual progress that places client satisfaction, respect for deadlines, and safety of personnel and installations at the heart of PICA's professional concerns.

It has become manifest by various certification programs initiated more than 10 years ago:

• ISO 9001 - version 2000 certification since 2003 for all of PICA's operations, including the sites in Vierzon (France) and Columbus (USA)

Compliance certificates specific to the products offered by PICA in each field of application:

• In the field of drinking water treatment: EN - 12915 for activated carbons in granulate form, EN - 12903 for activated carbons in powdered form, and the American NSF Standard.
• In the chemistry and agro-foods industries: Food Chemical Codex guidelines, International Oenology Codex guidelines, etc.

• In the medical field: European and American Pharmacopeias
