Mammoet Becomes First Heavy-Lifting And Transport Company To Obtain ISO 19443 Nuclear Certification

Mammoet, a global provider of engineered heavy lifting and transport services, has become the first company in its industry to obtain ISO 19443 certification, an international quality management standard for organisations operating in the nuclear power sector.

ISO 19443, published in 2018, sets quality management requirements specifically for organisations in the nuclear energy supply chain.

The standard provides a framework covering areas including sales, operations, human resources and procurement.

Mammoet, which already holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, said its decision to pursue ISO 19443 was driven by its focus on quality assurance and service as it works with industry partners to develop construction strategies for next-generation nuclear reactors.

The certification process took three years and included an audit of the company’s culture, processes, training, engineering and health and safety systems.

The certificate will be awarded to Mammoet by DNV France, the third-party certification body for ISO 19443.

Davide Andreani, managing director of Mammoet Europe Projects, said the certification demonstrated the company’s commitment to maintaining industry leadership and supporting the development of the nuclear sector.

Mammoet has worked in the nuclear power industry for decades and has supported projects involving companies including EDF, ITER, RWE, Framatome, Bruce Power and PreussenElektra.
