OUR CERTIFICATIONS

Industry-Recognised Standards

WhaleyComm holds certifications across quality management, environmental responsibility, and IT asset disposition — meeting the compliance requirements of regulated enterprises worldwide.
✓
QUALITY MANAGEMENT
ISO 9001
International Organization for Standardization
ISO 9001 is the world’s most recognised quality management standard. It certifies that WhaleyComm’s processes — from procurement and testing to fulfilment and support — consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements.
  • Documented, repeatable quality processes across all operations
  • Full power-on testing and port-by-port functionality verification on every unit
  • Factory reset and firmware verification before shipment
  • Continuous improvement audits to maintain certification
  • Required for enterprise RFPs in healthcare, finance, and government
♻
RESPONSIBLE RECYCLING
R2v3
Responsible Recycling Standard, Version 3
R2v3 is the leading global standard for responsible electronics reuse and recycling. It requires certified facilities to follow strict environmental, health, safety, and data security protocols throughout the entire asset lifecycle.
  • Legally required for ITAD services in many regulated industries
  • Strict chain-of-custody documentation for every asset processed
  • NIST 800-88 and DoD 5220.22-M compliant data destruction
  • Certificates of destruction provided for every disposal

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
e-Stewards
Basel Action Network e-Stewards Certification
e-Stewards is regarded as the gold standard for ethical electronics recycling. It prohibits the export of hazardous e-waste to developing countries and enforces the highest standards of environmental and worker protection globally.
  • Zero export of hazardous e-waste to developing nations
  • Verified by independent third-party auditors annually
  • Supports customers’ Scope 3 carbon reporting requirements
  • Circular economy aligned — maximum reuse before recycling
  • Preferred certification for ESG-mandated procurement
