Case Study: TANATEX Chemicals achieves robust inspection planning and reduced downtime with LRQA compliance management support

Tanatex Chemicals improves inspection planning and reduces plant downtime with LRQA

Tanatex Chemicals, a Netherlands-based manufacturer of chemicals for the textile industry, faced a challenge in ensuring the robustness of its standalone compliance management system for plant inspections. The system was vital for meeting strict Dutch safety regulations (BRZO) but relied heavily on a few personnel, posing a risk. They engaged vendor LRQA for an independent evaluation to identify gaps and improve the system's reliability.

LRQA provided a comprehensive solution, conducting an IT audit and designing a centralized database for all asset documentation and imagery. They linked assets to a calendar module for inspection planning and created a full equipment inventory. This work, which navigated complex historical regulations, gave Tanatex Chemicals efficient and robust inspection planning, minimized plant downtime, and provided greater transparency and confidence in their regulatory compliance.
