BQ-9000

Novecta supports the implementation of the National Biodiesel Boards quality system called BQ-9000.  The objective of the BQ-9000 program is to promote the commercial success and public acceptance of biodiesel.  To help assure that success, biodiesel fuel is produced to and maintained at the industry standard, ASTM D 6751. 

The BQ-9000 program provides a foundation for a workable quality management system. As a flexible quality model it tells you what…not how, and allows your organization to determine the appropriate level of level of complexity.  This standard applies to a wide range of company sizes.

Implementation of the nationally accepted standard, ASTM D 6751 is a requirement of BQ-9000.   Biodiesel producers and marketers can save both time and money by minimizing problems with fuels that do not meet specifications.  This can also be a benefit to the marketer and users as a monetary savings by taking advantage of the producer quality assurance.  A feeling of confidence is for consumers of biodiesel.  Providing the automotive industry with confidence in a quality product is critical in the developing stages of this new and exciting industry.

BQ-9000 also provides a comprehensive system for managing your business and the need to comply with customer requirements.  It promotes the desire to improve your current system, improve consistency which increases profits, and competitive positions within your industry are all drivers for BQ-9000.  Market advantage may also be gained through quality recognition.
