RBS is the Standard Operating System for improving and sustaining safety,
quality and productivity at REC.
Our quality assurance system and technology development processes are critical

The RPDM decision process ensures all products are tested and validated prior
to acceptance and that ongoing checks are implemented to maintain quality.
