1 THE SAFEST CONNECTION FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS en

2 SAFETY IS WHEN CONTROL LEADS TO TRUST. Erne Fittings has been successfully completing international nuclear projects since the early 1970s. It is not for nothing that the company is now the world s leading premium supplier of butt-weld fittings in the approved market. Despite the fact that fittings are merely one small detail in the construction of power plants, these connections do make a significant contribution towards plant safety. For this reason, Erne Fittings decided very early on not only to focus on a product range which is second to none in terms of quality and variety, but also to structure and professionalise their processes during nuclear projects. This processing expertise ensures accurate execution of all quality-relevant procedures, from process-orientated project planning to transparent contract preparation and standardised production steps, right through to ensuring payments are processed correctly. Customers can therefore be safe in the knowledge that they have made the right decision in choosing Erne Fittings. That s why Erne Fittings is the safe connection.

3 SAFETY IS WHEN QUALITY IS A MATTER OF COURSE. In the highly complex and sensitive area of nuclear technology, it is vital to have a professional quality management system for all the processes and products used. The foundation for this is the Erne test laboratory, which, as one of the most modern in the world, is approved to EN ISO and fittedwith state-of-the-art technical equipment. Assisted by employees who have the best training possible (certified to level 3 according to EN ISO 9712 and SNT-TC-1A), Erne Fittings guarantees maximum customer satisfaction and sets industry benchmarks in the area of quality management. All internal and external procedures are planned, executed and documented in detail. ERNE QUALITY ADVANTAGES > Ongoing quality control by ultra-modern testing laboratory approved to EN ISO > Internal quality assurance inspected and documented constantly > Erne has obtained all the important accreditations in the nuclear sector > Fulfilment of technical and quality-relevant requirements in accordance with the RCC-M and ASME Code > Documented and qualified further development of employees TPM (Total Productive Management) and CIP (Continuous Improvement Process) are not simply empty buzzwords at Erne Fittings, but part of the company culture. The fact that the company has obtained all the important approvals in the nuclear sector is a clear indication of this self-image and the result of over 30 years of project experience.
