en.Wedoany.com Reported - Tarmac has announced that it is one of the first suppliers of nuclear aggregates to achieve ISO 19443 certification through the British Standards Institution (BSI).

The building materials company stated that this certification enhances its ability to provide consistent, repeatable, and traceable high-quality materials for the nuclear industry. ISO 19443 is an international quality management standard specifically developed for the nuclear sector. It builds upon the ISO 9001 quality framework by adding additional requirements for the supply of products and services important to nuclear safety, including a greater emphasis on safety culture, traceability, and configuration management. This certification is not a mandatory requirement for the nuclear supply chain, but Tarmac believes that operating to this standard demonstrates its commitment to safety and industry best practices.

The company's use of internally sourced materials helps mitigate supply chain risks and enhances traceability from source to site. Will Pearson, Commercial Director for Tarmac's nuclear business, stated that this certification represents another significant milestone for the nuclear business, reflecting the standards of quality, traceability, and assurance that customers increasingly expect in the supply chain. For nuclear projects, confidence in material sourcing and consistency is critical. The ability to supply aggregates from controlled internal sources helps reduce supply chain risks and supports the high levels of transparency and quality assurance required by the industry. The commitment to quality is embedded in the company's nuclear safety culture and complements its strengths in technological innovation and supply assurance for nuclear projects.
