How we prove it, and where our paperwork stops
European buyers do not accept a part. They accept a part with its file. A missing weld inspection report or a missing mill certificate stops a delivery no matter how good the machining is. This page sets out what we certify, what we document per order, and — equally important — which approvals we do not hold.
What we hold
| Quality management | ISO 9001:2015 — certified |
| ESG rating | Grade A — Synesgy / CRIF |
| Manufacturing since | 2006, to ISO, DIN and ASME drawings |
| Export experience | Long-term supply to the Netherlands and the wider EU |
The ESG rating matters more each year. European industrial buyers increasingly have to report on their own supply chain, and a supplier who cannot produce an ESG position becomes an administrative problem for them regardless of price.
The standards we manufacture to
| Standard | Scope | Applied to |
|---|---|---|
| ISO 3834 (-2, -3, -4) | Quality requirements for fusion welding | All welded work |
| ISO 5817 | Quality levels for fusion-welded joints — B, C, D | Welded structures |
| ISO 13920 | General tolerances for welded constructions | Welded structures, lifting tables |
| ISO 9606-1 / -2 | Welder qualification — steel and stainless / aluminium | Welder competence |
| ISO 286-1 | Tolerance and fit system, IT grades | CNC turning and milling |
| ISO 2768-1 | General tolerances, linear and angular | Cutting, bending, rolling, milling |
| ISO 9013 | Thermal cutting — dimensional tolerance and cut quality | Laser and plasma cutting |
| EN 1570-1 | Safety requirements for lifting tables | Hydraulic lifting platforms |
What ships with the goods
This is our default package, not an extra you have to negotiate.
- Mill test certificate (MTC)Per heat lot, traceable to the material actually used in your parts
- Weld inspection reportVT visual · UT ultrasonic · MT magnetic particle, to the ISO 5817 level agreed for your order
- Dimensional inspection reportMeasured against your drawing, per batch
- Welder qualification recordsISO 9606-1 certificates for the welders on your job
- Surface treatment recordBlasting grade, coating system and thickness
How a part is checked before it leaves
| Incoming material | MTC verified against the order before cutting starts |
| In process | First-article check, then batch sampling against the drawing |
| Welds | VT on every weld · UT and MT on load-bearing welds |
| Lifting equipment | Load tested in our factory before despatch |
| Stainless after welding | Pickling and passivation, then surface check |
| Final | Dimensional report compiled and issued with the goods |
Load testing in our own factory is a deliberate choice. Finding a fault while the equipment is still on our floor costs a day. Finding the same fault after it has been installed on your site costs a great deal more, and it costs it to you.
Approvals we do not hold
We would rather lose an enquiry at this paragraph than lose it after you have committed a schedule to us.
- No classification society approvalWe hold no DNV, ABS or Lloyd’s Register approval. We manufacture marine components to your drawings and specification. If your project requires class-approved fabrication, the scope and the route must be agreed before we quote
- PED 2014/68/EU — scope to be agreedFor pressure equipment entering the EU, we discuss the conformity assessment route and who holds which responsibility before quoting
- No CE marking on complete lifting machinery yetWe manufacture to EN 1570-1 as a reference standard and supply components and assemblies; CE marking of a complete machine placed on the EU market is a separate question we handle case by case
- EN 1090 execution class — not certifiedFor load-bearing steel structures placed on the EU market this matters. Ask us and we will tell you plainly where a given project stands
Your drawings
Drawings you send are used to prepare your quotation and to manufacture your parts. They are not shared with any third party, they are not used as examples, and they do not appear in our marketing. We sign an NDA before you send anything if you prefer — just ask.
This is backed internally: business confidentiality, including customer drawings, pricing and process data, is written into our staff rules, not left to goodwill.
Send a drawing
We return a quotation within 24 working hours. We accept PDF, DWG, DXF, STEP and IGES.
Tell us in the same message what documentation your quality department needs, and it will be priced in from the start.
