History and Present
The VF company was founded in 1992 by a group of radiation protection experts from the state owned company ZPA Brno. ZPA Brno was assigned by the state as the company responsible for radiation monitoring systems installation and commissioning at nuclear power plants in former Czechoslovakia.
After the political changes of 1989 (the so called “velvet revolution”) the former group of experts from ZPA established a new private company in Černá Hora with the name VF.
VF further developed this expertise and later started development of its own radiation protection instrumentation.
Due to excellent results and client satisfaction VF became one of the leading companies providing complete services and solutions focused on radiation protection and monitoring in the Czech and Slovak Republics.
In 2003 the company started expansion to international markets and is today working in more than 25 countries worldwide.
Integrated Management System
In order to meet the satisfaction of our customers and to strengthen our competitiveness in both home and foreign markets, we consider it fundamental to ensure high quality standards of our products and services together with environmental and information protection and occupational safety. We are fully aware of the importance and necessity of the integrated management system as one of the essential factors for satisfying the needs of our customers.

After the successful implementation of the quality system in 1995, we were awarded certification in compliance with ČSN EN ISO 9001 standard from RW TÜV. Subsequently, in our awareness of the need to constantly increase efficiency and improve all processes, we have started to pay more attention to the environmental protection and occupational safety.
In 2003 we initiated intensive work to establish certification of the Environmental Management System (EMS) and Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSAS) in compliance with the ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 series international standards.This certification process was successfully completed when obtaining the certificates in 2004.
The latest event in the systems integration is the introduction of Information Security Management System (ISMS) compliant with ISO / IEC 27001:2005 and its certification, we have successfully passed at the eginning of 2013.
Currently, our company is certified by the TÜV NORD authority, covering all of its activities, in accordance with latest versions of international standards:
- EN ISO 9001:2008
- EN ISO 14001:2004
- BS OHSAS 18001:2007
- ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011
- ISO/IEC 27001:2005
The conformity of our integrated management system with the international standards and with the requirements of our customers was also affirmed by a number of independent customer audits.
