Environmental Auditing and Quality
Aury is a certified environmental auditor and has provided environmental auditing and environmental-management consulting across manufacturing, petroleum equipment, construction, municipal and service-sector organizations.
He also works in laboratory quality management at Enviropass, connecting regulatory assessment with the quality systems supporting analytical testing. His VEA® credential dates from 2013.
This background supports a risk-based approach to product compliance: supplier declarations and laboratory results are treated as evidence that must be evaluated for applicability, scope, quality and regulatory relevance rather than simply collected.
