CERTIFICATES & COMPLIANCE

Certification and conformity framework.

Representative management-system, manufacturing and pressure-equipment certification routes commonly requested for refinery, process-equipment and turnkey EPC projects.

QUALIFICATION BASIS

ISO, TÜV / CE and ASME framework

The standards below are examples of an expected qualification portfolio. Actual certificate numbers, issuing bodies, approved scope and validity dates must be verified from current certificate copies during vendor qualification or before contract award.

ISO MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

  • ISO 9001Quality management systems for controlled processes, documented delivery and continual improvement.
  • ISO 14001Environmental management systems for systematic control of environmental aspects and obligations.
  • ISO 45001Occupational health and safety management systems for workplace risk and performance control.
  • ISO 50001Energy management systems where energy-performance management is included in the certified scope.
  • ISO 3834-2Comprehensive quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials.

TÜV / CE / PED CONFORMITY

  • PED 2014/68/EUConformity assessment for stationary pressure equipment within the Directive's scope.
  • Notified-body reviewDesign review, manufacturing surveillance, test witnessing and final assessment according to the selected PED module.
  • Welding qualificationWPS/PQR and welder or welding-operator qualifications under the applicable EN ISO requirements.
  • Inspection evidenceMaterial traceability, NDT, dimensional inspection, pressure testing and final manufacturing record review.

TÜV identifies an independent inspection and certification organization; the exact mark and service depend on the appointed legal entity, notified-body scope and contract.

ASME PRESSURE EQUIPMENT

  • ASME BPVC Section VIII, Division 1Design and construction basis for pressure vessels where specified by the project.
  • ASME Certificate of Authorization / U DesignatorRequired when a manufacturer applies the ASME Certification Mark with the U designator to eligible pressure vessels.
  • ASME BPVC Section IXQualification of welding procedures and welding personnel.
  • ASME B31.3Process-piping design, fabrication, examination and testing basis where contractually selected.

PROJECT QUALITY DOSSIER

  • Material certificationEN 10204 Type 3.1 or 3.2 certificates as required, with heat-number traceability.
  • Manufacturing recordsApproved drawings, ITP/QCP, WPS/PQR/WPQ, NDT and PWHT reports.
  • Testing and releaseHydrostatic or pneumatic test records, calibration certificates, coating reports and release notes.
  • Final MDRIndexed manufacturing data record compiled to the contractual code and client document requirements.
IMPORTANT STATUS NOTE

This page describes representative certification routes and documents; it does not replace current, verifiable certificate copies. KOCTECH qualification submissions should identify the legal certificate holder, certified location, approved activities, certificate number, issuer, issue/expiry dates and any exclusions.
