# EDF-approved laboratory for the analysis of your PMUC

## Your needs: have your PMUC approved by an EDF-approved laboratory

PMUC are Products and Materials Used in power plants, nuclear or thermal. They are used during maintenance, manufacturing, operation and servicing work in a nuclear power plant.

Following EDF’s Quality approach governed by **the decree** of August 10, 1984, **obligations** regarding the management of nuclear power plants were announced.

Indeed, PMUC can have an **aggressive** nature, triggering several forms of **corrosion** in the metal alloys used in power plants.

Moreover, PMUC can represent a significant potential source of halogens and sulfur. For this reason, they are subject to specifications aimed at **limiting** their content of harmful chemical elements.

Thus, to ensure their compliance and everyone’s safety, regular PMUC checks are **essential**. The supplier undertakes to guarantee the final quality of the product by taking into account the risks of product degradation throughout its manufacturing process.

Product approval takes place at EDF’s request, which contacts the supplier. The supplier turns to an EDF-approved laboratory to carry out these analysis.
