ISO Certifications, Policy of Operation & Sustainability
ISO certifications
Exact Tools Oy has operated with high quality and responsibly throughout its history. In early 2024, our company was awarded by ISO 9001 (Quality management), ISO 14001 (Environment) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety) standard certifications.
Personal safety
Occupational safety is the fundamental of Exact Tools. In fact, it was one of the main objectives for developing the concept. The personal safety is superior to all other power tools.
The reasons behind the good personal safety lies within the good construction (gripping unit) and well-designed blade guard. The saw blade is located inside the blade guard, and it is only visible during cutting. The machine is always tightly gripped on the pipe during working process. This ensures that the cutting saw blade is limited to a very controlled area, and even if a breakdown of the machine or blade would happen, the range of motion is designed in a way that the operator is not affected, as long as safety instructions are followed correctly.
This was contrast to dangerous angle grinder which poses a real danger in case of an accident – and unfortunately, these accidents happen occasionally.
Knowingly there are no reported cases of serious (or even minor) injuries caused by Exact products.
Energy consumption
Exact is the fastest and most effective pipe cutting system on the market. The short time required to cut the pipe results in minimal energy consumption. Usually an Exact saw is 8-10 times faster than for example an angle grinder.
Absence of small particles
Exact products produce only a minimum amount of small particles to the surrounding air on job sites. This is a tremendous improvement for the air quality. Being a major health benefit to the operator, also others in the same job site minimize the inhaled amount of health hazardous small particles.
According the medical research small particles are very serious risk for your health.
Fire safety
Exact products do not produce excessive sparks like angle grinder. The chips from cutting drops below the saw and stays in the user’s field of view. It is easy to control the chips and avoid all fire risks on the job site.
Light working and minimal work strain
All Exact products are lightweight and easy to handle, move and operate. Most of the heavy-straining work is avoided thanks to the clever concept of Exact gripping unit that is part of every Exact machine.
There is no other machine that is as portable and yet lightweight to use by its concept.
Environment
Most Exact machines’ parts are recyclable. Separate recycling of used products and packaging support recycling and recovery of materials. Reusing recycled materials helps preventing the pollution of the environment. According to local regulations it is possible to deliver household appliances to municipal rubbish depositories or to the dealer when purchasing a new product.
