OREANDA-NEWS. According to Severgal General Director, Ivan Nefedov, “Our quality management system was created and certified for compliance with the above standards from the outset. We began the ISO projects in 2004 with the main aim of creating a consistent and efficient system that could be upgraded without interruption. The work involved a large part of the Severgal team and several outside entities. As Severgal was designed and built to service high-technology consumers, principally automakers, we believe that the award of the certificates is entirely in keeping with our objectives and work ethics.”

In carrying out the audits, Lloyd’s Register’s assessors praised employee training, the workforce’s involvement with the certification process, compliance with work schedules and deadlines, and the Company's commitment to further improvement.

“Obtaining the certificates show that we conform to international standards. We thank everyone who collaborated with us en route to certification under both standards,” said Mr. Nefedov.
