Mammoet has become the first company in its industry to achieve ISO 19443 - the international quality assurance and management standard for organizations operating in the nuclear power sector.

ISO 19443 was officially published in 2018 and is an international quality management benchmark specific to the nuclear power industry. It provides businesses with a framework covering different business areas, from sales and operations to HR and procurement.

Mammoet holds several ISO certificates, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. Its decision to obtain ISO 19443 was driven by Mammoet’s commitment to quality assurance and service, as it works with key players to develop efficient build strategies for next generation reactors.

The journey to prepare for and achieve the certification has taken three years. The ISO audit assessed everything from culture and processes, to training, engineering and health-and-safety within the organization.

The ISO 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:

“As a market leader, it is very important for us to always be at the forefront of our industry.

Up to now, ISO 19443 has been utilized mainly by manufacturers in the nuclear industry, but we are now the first company in the world, as a service provider in heavy lifting and transport, to become certified.

It’s an incredible achievement, and a testament to the incredible teams we have at Mammoet and their dedication to providing our customers with the very best service possible – and to shape the future of the nuclear sector alongside them”.

Mammoet has been working in the nuclear power sector for decades and has supported many high-profile projects for many of the world’s biggest companies working in the sector, including EDF, ITER, RWE, Framatome, Bruce Power and PreussenElektra, among many others.
