The consulting firm is accredited for soil inspections, waste inspections and landfill monitoring.
The Entidad Nacional de Acreditación (ENAC) has extended the 17020 Litoclean’s quality management credential to include the control and monitoring of landfill groundwater during the operation and subsequent maintenance phases. Litoclean has been accredited by this body for more than fifteen years in the design and execution of soil quality assessments associated with potentially polluting activities and facilities, reaching the three matrices sampled in subsurface inspections: soils, groundwater and gases.
The scope of ENAC accreditation was already extended in 2022 with the scope of waste disposal, recovery and classification, and now adds a new area, related to the control of landfills.

These awards are the result of the company’s firm commitment to accrediting its work and guaranteeing its development. To achieve this, it is essential that all areas integrate this culture of quality and apply it in their daily work, something that both the technical department and the quality department, the architects of the achievement of the credentials, have fully incorporated into their DNA and extend to other sections, as Núria Rasós, technical director of Litoclean, explains: “The staff has very well assimilated that quality standards must be met in everything we do because it is a slogan that has always been given from the company’s management and from each area, therefore, the improvements that derive from these credentials are integrated in a natural way.”
Continuous improvement
The maintenance of accreditations involves an exhaustive control of the work processes to comply with all the requirements of the standard and with the planned objectives.
In the case of the soil vapors area, for example, it has involved “the purchase of more equipment and the training of all technical personnel in its use and in the internal procedures that have been worked on,” says Rasós.

Likewise, the director of the technical department says that in the field of waste inspection, the accreditation has meant a great change, since it allows Litoclean to expand its services in such an important sector: “Now we offer a comprehensive service within the scope of ENAC accreditation”.
In relation to the expansion in the control and monitoring of landfills, it implies accreditation in a very specific type of sites with very specific problems. “This will be a challenge for the team because it is important to know their specifications in depth,” argues Núria Rasós.
In addition, Litoclean has set the goal of increasing the number of inspections carried out in the three expanded areas and maintaining this accreditation at a high level of work quality. To achieve this, continuous training of all personnel and synchronization between management and the rest of the company’s areas will be necessary to work together to improve processes and achieve the goals set.
Maintaining these standards also entails a commitment to innovation and knowledge, aspects that have always been a pillar of Litoclean’s corporate culture.
