As a nuclear manufacturer, you want your products to be analyzed by an ISO 19443-certified laboratory
What is ISO 19443 certification ?
ISO 19443 certification is based on ISO 9001 and is aimed at companies manufacturing products with an impact on nuclear safety. This world-renowned certification is aimed at suppliers, and helps to ensure the conformity of services provided to nuclear facilities.
Improving safety and security is one of the primary objectives of all industries, and to achieve this, the quality of the products and services that contribute to it must be improved. Thanks to ISO 19443, major operators will be able to select service providers they can trust.
Why choose ISO 19443 ?
The ISO 19443 standard was developed by numerous international experts in close collaboration with national and international regulatory and industrial requirements. It is a guarantee of quality and safety for supply chain organizations in the nuclear energy sector. This certification attests to the mastery of processes and the quality of products or services supplied, both in France and worldwide.

Our FAQ
The concept of ITNS (Important To 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 ITNS. Product analysis therefore begins by determining whether the product falls into this category in order to apply the appropriate level of stringency.
The analyses primarily concern:
- Metallic materials (alloys, welds, etc.)
- Polymers and composites
- Coatings and surface treatments
Fluids (oils, coolants, etc.) - Particulate or chemical contamination
All products that could impact the safety or performance of a nuclear facility are included.
The analysis allow us 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 management.
This is a key requirement of ISO 19443. Product analysis must include specific controls to detect:
- Counterfeits: illegal copies.
- Fraud: falsified test data or incorrect markings.
- Suspects: products of questionable origin or quality.
The analysis must include visual detection methods, chemical tests, or enhanced supplier audits.
