QUALITY AND CERTIFICATIONS
Quality: what we certify, and what our mills certify
Let's be precise, because that's what your quality department will ask us.
Our four partner mills are ISO 9001 certified; certificates are available on request. Downstream, our supply chain runs through certified distributors; where an intermediary isn't certified itself, the material comes from a producer that is, and the 3.1 material certificate ties it back to its melt.
Where can I find the partner mills' ISO 9001 certificates?
You can find each mill's ISO 9001 certificate on its own website, or we can send it to you on simple request.
How does the 3.1 certificate's documentary chain work?
The EN 10204 3.1 certificate is issued and validated by the mill's quality department, independent from production, based on the checks carried out on the melt and the delivered lot. Melt traceability links every tube delivered to its raw material and its inspections — it is this chain, held by the mill, that the certificate attests to.
How does this fit with steel regulation?
Melt traceability and Melt & Pour origin, which we document systematically, overlap with the requirements building up on the import-regulation side.
