QA International can arrange Assessment of Chemical Haulage Companies under the SQAS (European Single Assessment Document-ESAD) Scheme. Chemical Haulage and Tank Cleaning Organisations are subject to Assessment against an extensive assessment checklist covering matters of a Quality, Health & Safety and Environmental nature.
