The Quality Management Tool

The Quality Management Tool provides information and guidance on how to introduce a Quality Management System (QMS) in a recycling facility for the production of aggregates from some type of waste. It aims to help you in implementing the principles of Quality and the requirements of the QMS and the European Standards for aggregates as described in the Introduction to the Quality Management System.

In particular, the tool shows how you could describe your process, as required by the QMS and explained in Product Realisation - Method Statement of Production. It also helps you in introducing the controls required by both the QMS and the European Standards for aggregates, as detailed in Measurement, Analysis and Improvement - the Factory Production Control.

Finally, the tool will help you in writing your Quality Manual, starting from QM Outline - Section 5: Implementation of MSP and FPC (22 kb) .

• Quality Management Tool User Guide

The Quality Tool uses a flowchart approach based on the WRAP's Quality Protocol for the production of aggregates from inert waste.


It guides the user through the steps required for ensuring that production of aggregates from waste is controlled and managed, so that:

• The aggregates produced conform to the requirements of the European Standards for aggregates
• Processors of INERT WASTE have a basis for demonstrating that their product has been fully recovered and is no longer a waste. More information on waste can be found in the Waste Management Regulations Module

The tool deals with:

• inert wastes
• other secondary materials.
