Raider. These global standards are environmental and quality control. ISO 9000 deals with the fundamentals of quality management systems which is relevant to producing a consistent, quality product.
The company says "This advanced manufacturing program will include certification to meet ISO9001 and ISO14001 standards in line with customer requirements" and that is dead right because many major purchasers require their suppliers to hold ISO 9001 and ISO14001 certification.

Corbett et al. showed that certified organizations achieved superior return on assets."
The company is gearing up to produce and sell product aimed at high tech applications in the global marketplace. Interesting to note that exploitation of their unique Arterial Flake is in their sights.
"Recent testing of the Uley Pit 2 ore has identified how a proven overseas minerals treatment technology could be adapted for Uley GraphiteTM, including for the unique very high grade Arterial Flake"
