certifications
As a nuclear industry player, you want to have your products tested by an ISO 19443 certified laboratory
What is ISO 19443 certification?
The ISO 19443 certification is based on ISO 9001 and is intended for companies that manufacture products affecting nuclear safety. This globally recognized certification is designed for suppliers and helps ensure compliance of services provided to nuclear facilities.
Improving security and safety is one of the primary objectives of all industries. To achieve this, the quality of the products and services that contribute to them must be improved. Thanks to the ISO 19443 standard, major operators will be able to select trusted service providers.
Why choose the ISO 19443 standard?
The ISO 19443 standard has been developed by many international experts in close collaboration with national and international regulatory and industry requirements. It is a guarantee of quality and safety for organizations in the nuclear energy supply chain. This certification demonstrates control over processes and the quality of the products or services provided, both in France and worldwide.

Our FAQ
The concept of IPSN (Important for Nuclear Safety) is at the heart of the standard. Any product or service whose failure could compromise the safety of a nuclear facility is classified as IPSN. Product analysis therefore begins by determining whether it falls into this category, so that the appropriate level of rigor can be applied.
The analysis mainly concern:
- Metal materials (alloys, welds, etc.)
- Polymers and composites
- Coatings and surface treatments
- Fluids (oils, coolants, etc.)
- Particulate or chemical contamination
All products that may affect the safety or performance of a nuclear facility are concerned.
The analysis make it possible to:
- Verify compliance with regulatory and contractual requirements
- Ensure material traceability
- Detect non-conformities or contamination
- Secure critical supplies
- Prevent in-service failures
It is a key lever for demonstrating risk control.
This is a major requirement of ISO 19443. Product analysis must include specific checks to detect:
counterfeits: illegal copies.
fraud: falsified test data or incorrect markings.
suspect items: products whose origin or quality is questionable.
The analysis should include visual detection methods, chemical tests, or enhanced supplier audits.
