Join experts from Hartford Steam Boiler™ for an overview of ISO 19443 regulations and its growing importance in the global nuclear supply chain. This webinar will explain the standard’s development, its role in supporting nuclear quality assurance, and how organizations can pursue certification to demonstrate compliance and competitiveness in nuclear markets.
Overview
In this webinar, experts from HSB provide an overview of the ISO 19443 standard, beginning with its development and the role it plays in supporting nuclear quality assurance expectations around the world. You’ll gain insights into its core requirements, how they apply to organizations across the nuclear supply chain, including manufacturers, service providers, and engineering firms, and how organizations can pursue certification to demonstrate compliance and competitiveness in nuclear markets.
The session also explains the ISO 19443 certification process, including readiness preparation, certification audits, and maintaining compliance. Learn how certification can help your organization demonstrate commitment to nuclear safety and be poised for opportunities in the growing global nuclear market.
As nuclear energy expands globally, the need for need for reliable and qualified supply chains has never been more important. The international standard ISO 19443 was developed to strengthen quality management practices across organizations supplying products and services that are important to nuclear safety. Based on the structure of ISO 9001, ISO 19443 introduces additional requirements specific to the nuclear sector, including enhanced controls for safety culture, traceability, risk management, and the prevention of counterfeit, fraudulent, and suspect items.
