The ISO 19443 standard was developed to meet the specific needs of the nuclear sector, ensuring a high level of quality and safety in products and services supplied to nuclear power plants. Derived from ISO 9001, this standard adds specific requirements for nuclear safety management, supplier qualification, and material traceability. ISO 19443 is internationally recognized and represents a fundamental reference for organizations operating in the nuclear supply chain.
The requirements of ISO 19443 include the implementation of a quality management system compliant with the principles of ISO 9001, with the addition of specific requirements for the nuclear sector.
