Review the certification scope with the current supporting record, issuing body, and customer-specific supplier qualification requirements for your program.
Review U.S. Nameplate Co.’s ISO 9001:2015 certificate 251590, including its single-site manufacturing scope, issue date, and expiration date. Use this U.S. Nameplate Co. document within its stated date, scope, and conditions. If your supplier-qualification or purchasing process requires current documentation, tell our team which record you need and how it will be used.
U.S. Nameplate Co.’s ISO 9001:2015 certificate documents a defined quality-management-system credential for the company’s Mount Vernon, Iowa site. The useful way to read it is as a controlled record: it names the organization, address, certifier, standard, certificate number, manufacturing scope, issue history, and expiration condition. Those details establish what the document supports and, just as importantly, where its conclusions stop.
The certificate applies to a management system. It is not a blanket approval of every individual part, construction, material, process, or end use. Customers evaluating a specific drawing or order should use the certificate alongside their own specifications and the project documentation discussed in U.S. Nameplate Co.’s quality standards overview.
Orion Registrar, Inc. issued certificate number 251590 for the management system of U.S. Nameplate Company at 2100 Business 30 West, Mt. Vernon, Iowa 52314 USA. The document states that the management system has been assessed and certified as meeting ISO 9001:2015 requirements. Its certification structure is identified as a single site.
These fields should remain together when the certificate is reviewed. Quoting only the standard number or expiration date omits the site, scope, and continuing-assessment condition that give the record its meaning. The company overview provides broader organizational context, but certificate interpretation should stay anchored to the certificate itself.
The printed scope is: “Manufacture of Nameplates, Decals, Labels, Control Panels, Data-Rating-Serial Plates, Property Asset Tags, Signage.” It describes categories within the certified management system. It does not list every construction, substrate, adhesive, finish, dimension, printing method, inspection, or application that may be relevant to a purchase.
Several staging pages help a reader understand the ordinary product categories named in that scope. Those include metal nameplates, custom durable decals, warning labels, and control panel overlays. The compound phrase “Data-Rating-Serial Plates” can be explored through the separate rating plates and serial plates pages.
Those links are navigation, not an expansion of certificate language. A linked page may discuss options or considerations that the one-line scope does not enumerate. Conversely, appearing in a broad product family does not establish that every variation of that product has been independently assessed or approved under ISO 9001.
The scope does not certify a finished item’s safety, regulatory compliance, service life, environmental resistance, dimensional tolerance, adhesion, color, legibility, or fitness for a customer’s equipment. It also does not replace a drawing, material specification, proof approval, inspection requirement, or acceptance criterion. Those are order-level questions and should be settled with order-level evidence.
ISO identifies ISO 9001:2015 as a standard for quality-management-system requirements. Its subject is how an organization establishes, implements, maintains, and continually improves that system. The certificate therefore speaks to the assessed management system within the stated site and scope; it does not function like a product test report or a conformity mark attached to a particular unit.
This distinction keeps procurement records precise. A supplier credential can be one part of a qualification file, while the part itself still needs its own released artwork, dimensions, construction details, inspection points, and any application-specific approvals required by the customer. The certificate and the part record answer different questions, and neither should be stretched to stand in for the other.
A certificate is most useful when the version being reviewed is connected to the date of the purchasing or supplier-approval decision. The October 19, 2023 issue shows an expiry date of November 3, 2026 and states that validity is subject to annual assessments. It should not be treated as permanently current after that printed date.
When current status beyond the document is material, verification should come from the certifier or a newly supplied certificate. This page summarizes the document; it does not silently extend or renew it.
Before requesting a quote, define the information that controls the actual item: released copy, variable fields, dimensions, quantity, construction, attachment method, artwork references, inspection expectations, and revision status. The relevant mix will vary by project. A quality-management certificate does not choose among these inputs for the customer.
If a customer procedure calls for evidence of supplier certification, the request should identify the certificate number and the acceptable document date. It should also state whether the certificate is needed for initial qualification, a periodic supplier review, a bid package, or a particular purchase record. That context does not change the certificate, but it helps prevent an old file, an unrelated site, or a differently scoped credential from being attached to the wrong decision. Where a customer requires confirmation directly from the certifier, that verification remains separate from the manufacturing quote and part approval.
Manufacturing pages can help organize that discussion. For example, screen printing and digital printing describe distinct production topics, while die and digital cutting and label sets address other parts of planning. Referencing a capability does not make it part of certificate 251590 unless the certificate’s own scope supports that conclusion.
Customers may maintain several supplier records for different purposes. U.S. Nameplate Co.’s ANSI/UL 969 certification page concerns a particular UL marking-and-labeling component recognition, with its own construction and use boundaries. The UL Authorized Label Suppliers’ Program page concerns another program and another record. Neither credential is created by ISO 9001 certification, and the ISO certificate does not broaden their respective scopes.
Keeping those records separate prevents a familiar documentation error: combining several valid but different credentials into one unsupported claim. A clean supplier file identifies which document answers which question, records its date and identifier, and carries any project-specific evidence beside it.
This approach gives the certificate an appropriate role: meaningful evidence about a scoped management system, without turning it into proof of matters it does not address.
If certificate 251590 is part of your supplier-qualification package, include the required document date, the part or product family, the controlling drawing or specification, and any other credential your organization needs. Use the request consultation form to begin that project-specific review. U.S. Nameplate Co. can then respond to the defined request rather than relying on a broad interpretation of the ISO 9001:2015 page title.
Tell our team which certificate, statement, or supplier document your organization needs, the date or revision required, and the project or qualification process it supports. We will respond using the current information available for that request. Request a Quote.
