At GTR Manufacturing, we’re proud to hold four important manufacturing certifications for precision sheet metal fabrication: ISO 9001:2015, International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), and IPC/WHMA-A-620.Â
These certifications demonstrate our commitment to every aspect of manufacturing, from quality standards to security protocols to environmental compliance. Yet we don’t just check boxes and hang these certificates on our wall—we integrate them into our everyday culture.
With ISO, for instance, we don’t just train our team on procedures, we also engage them in understanding why these standards matter. We have a dialogue about what quality means to them, and how everyone on our floor contributes to quality outcomes. That emphasis on active participation extends to each of our certifications.

ISO 9001:2015 and Our Business-Wide Quality Commitment
ISO 9001:2015 is a globally recognized standard for quality management established by the International Organization for Standardization. Our ISO journey began in 2008—we’d always had exceptional quality metrics, and we sought outside certification as a testament to our high quality.
ISO standards were updated in 2015, and we quickly updated our processes to meet the new requirements. Since then, we’ve maintained compliance through both comprehensive internal and external audits. Our partnership with Quality Support Group ensures proper third-party auditing, and their expertise and rigor help us to ensure continuous improvement and excellence in our operations.
ISO is ultimately part of our broader culture of quality and ownership. At GTR, quality is everyone’s business, and it’s reflected in our consistently low return rates.Â
ITAR Compliance: How We Protect Sensitive Information
GTR Manufacturing has been ITAR-certified since 2012, implementing and maintaining the robust security measures required. We’ve developed standardized ITAR protocols across all our facilities, and we train every new hire in both the procedures and the critical importance of compliance.Â
While ITAR compliance is a requirement for many of our military and defense manufacturing customers, the standards we adhere to benefit every customer we partner with. We know that proper data security is foundational to all of our partnerships, and we aim to earn your trust every day by following all best practices.
Environmental and Technical Standards: IPC and RoHS
We maintain IPC certification for cable services in electromechanical assembly, with regular recertification every two years. This investment in ongoing training ensures our team stays current with the latest industry standards.
We are also RoHS-compliant, demonstrating our commitment to environmentally responsible sheet metal finishing. Our process includes obtaining supplier certifications, maintaining detailed documentation for traceability, and conducting material analyses to ensure all components meet these critical environmental standards.
