OREANDA-NEWS. February 17, 2010. UC RUSAL, the world’s largest aluminium and alumina producer, announces that the company has prolonged certification of the health, safety, environment and quality management systems under the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 international standards for production sites of the Aluminium Division.

RUSAL, as a global company, pays special attention to compliance of its management systems with all international standards,’ said Alexey Arnautov, the head of RUSAL’s Aluminium Division.
