OREANDA-NEWS. The inspection was carried out by TUV Cert (Germany) Oct 29-Nov 2 2007. The inspectors checked up if Elemash complied with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and found out that the company met both standards. The inspection has confirmed the high reputation of Elemash as one of the leading nuclear fuel producers in the world, reported the press-centre of TVEL.

The head of the expert group Vladimir Kachalov said: “We have finished our five-day inspection of Elemash’s quality management and ecological management systems and we have detected no deviations from the standards. We have minor remarks but they do not question the efficiency of the systems. I am sure that this efficiency is the result of the professional work of the whole staff of the plant and I would like to congratulate Elemash on this success.”

Elemash got ISO 9000 in 1996 - the first in the nuclear power industry and the tenth in Russia. TUV Cert inspections are carried out every year. ISO 14001 certificate was granted in 2004.
