AST advanced welding is certified according to important national and international guidelines. This way, we can guarantee the adherence to standards and vital quality characteristics.
With the certification according to DIN EN ISO 3834 AD2000 HPO, the basic quality requirements for welding manufacturing companies were tested and certified at AST advanced welding. The addition AD2000 HP0 establishes a concrete reference to pressure vessels.
The application of the quality assurance systems for conformity assessment procedures under the Pressure Equipment Directive is described in modules D. D1, E, E1, H and H1. These modules, based on quality assurance techniques, describe the elements that a manufacturer must implement in their company in order to demonstrate that the pressure equipment complies with the essential requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive.
Modules A and A2 imply simple as well as irregular, in-house production checks with supervised pressure equipment tests.

These modules, based on quality assurance techniques, describe the elements that a manufacturer must implement in their company in order to demonstrate that the pressure equipment complies with the essential requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive.
Modules H and H1 stand for comprehensive quality assurance with a corresponding design review for pressure equipment.
Classification, verification, risk management and technical consultancy in the areas of safety, performance enhancement and fuel efficiency in the maritime industry, etc.
As a classification society, DNV prepares standards for ships and offshore units, so-called Class-Rules. These rules contain safety, reliability and environmental regulations that ships and mobile offshore units must comply with in international waters.
The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code regulates all requirements for pressure-bearing components with regard to materials, calculation, manufacture, inspection, testing, certification and overpressure protection.
The code is published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. ASME is roughly comparable to the German VDI and has over 120,000 members worldwide.
The ASME Code itself is divided into individual sections for the different types of vessels (steam generators, boilers, pressure vessels, etc.), manufacturing steps (welding, NDT) and materials.
Quality is a crucial benchmark for AST advanced welding, reflecting the extent to which the products we manufacture and the services we perform meet our customers' requirements. Whether these requirements relate to functionality, performance or price is irrelevant. The four foundations of our quality strategy are product, personnel, solution and process quality. Our primary goal is to achieve the highest possible customer satisfaction with cost-optimized processes.
This requires a profound understanding of the customer and demands determined action from all employees. At AST advanced welding, quality management is a continuous, entrepreneurial management task. For the planning, implementation, coordination and systematic monitoring of the quality strategy, we established a documented management system at AST advanced welding, which is continuously refined and improved.
AST advanced welding develops, designs and produces special tanks and apparatuses with highest-quality welding work and short delivery times for companies from various industries.
