Quality & Environment

Certified,
then delivered.

Quality and the protection of the environment are key elements of Fundilusa's business strategy. Not a final inspection, but a system that runs from the order to the quay.

The certificate

ISO 9001, issued by Bureau Veritas.

Fundilusa has been certified to ISO 9001 by Bureau Veritas under certificate number PT006500, confirming the commitment to quality across all construction and industrial processes. The group has held the standard since 1999.

APPROVED BY THE MANAGEMENT · AUGUST 2022

01

Customers

Build a mutually profitable relationship with our customers, meeting all agreed requirements for quality, cost and schedule to ensure their total satisfaction and long-term success.

02

People

Promote employee satisfaction, development and growth, and a favourable climate for quality, continuous improvement and the health and safety of everyone in the plant.

03

Training

Inform all employees of our quality and environmental policies, and gain their commitment by raising awareness and training in procedures.

04

The system

Continually improve the effectiveness of the integrated Quality and Environmental Management System, involving all employees and service providers.

05

Resources

Ensure efficient use of resources, promote energy conservation and minimise releases of toxic substances to air, water and land, reducing pollution, emissions and waste.

06

Compliance

Reduce the environmental footprint of our factory on both a local and a global scale, and comply with environmental legislation and other applicable requirements.

Controls

Checked at every stage, not just at the end.

Traceability runs from the moment an order is received until it leaves the works.

01

Chemical analysis

Every melt has its material monitored in the furnace through chemical analysis and degassing, strictly meeting the specification of each alloy.

02

Mechanical testing

Tensile-strength and impact tests confirm the cast material performs to the class requirement before machining begins.

03

Dimensional control

3D dimensional control files are produced by the engineering department and used to measure patterns and finished surfaces.

04

Non-destructive testing

Pressure testing, dye-penetrant inspection and ultrasonic testing are available in-house, applied to hubs and critical castings.

05

Solidification simulation

Feed and solidification simulation software is run before the pour on complex geometries, so soundness is engineered in rather than inspected for.

06

Dynamic balancing

Two balancing machines, of 1 and 30 tons, finish the assembly before surface protection and despatch.

FAQ

Questions procurement asks.

Certificates, auditors and testing, answered without the runaround.

Is Fundilusa ISO 9001 certified?
Yes. Fundilusa has operated under the ISO 9001 quality system since 1999. The certificate is issued by Bureau Veritas under number PT006500, and the current Quality and Environmental Policy Statement was approved by the Management in August 2022.
Who issues Fundilusa's ISO 9001 certificate?
Bureau Veritas. The certificate number is PT006500 and it covers the quality management system across Fundilusa's construction and industrial processes.
Does Fundilusa have an environmental management system?
Yes. Fundilusa runs an integrated Quality and Environmental Management System built in accordance with NP EN ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, covering resource and energy conservation, reduction of emissions and waste, and compliance with applicable environmental legislation.
Which classification societies certify Fundilusa products?
Products are classified before delivery by the main societies: ABS, Lloyd's Register (LRS), DNV, Bureau Veritas (BV), RINA and Germanischer Lloyd (GL), among others. The society is selected to match the vessel's class requirements.
What quality testing does Fundilusa perform?
Controls are carried out at every stage: chemical analysis and degassing of each melt in the furnace, tensile-strength tests, impact tests, dimensional measurement and 3D dimensional control. Hubs and castings additionally undergo pressure testing, dye-penetrant inspection and ultrasonic testing, with feed and solidification simulation used before casting.
Is every product traceable?
Yes. The ISO 9001 system covers the process from order receipt to delivery and ensures traceability of every product throughout, together with continuous improvement of procedures.
