During the audit, TUV Nord Ukraine's experts visited the plant's core shops to view the entire pipe manufacturing process, went to the plate and finished product warehouse, and participated in the testing of pipes and chemical properties of metals. The auditors spoke highly of the plant's large diameter pipe production capabilities and the professionalism of its employees and made a note of the well-coordinated work of the plant's technical and production departments, and its prompt provision of information and its quality. Preliminary findings of certification tests showed that Khartsyzsk Pipe's products met the specified requirements.
"The СЕ mark is the only marking in the European Union to indicate the compliance of products with European safety standards,” said Pavel Uzbek, Khartsyzsk Pipe's general director. "Having been granted the right to apply this marking, Khartsyzsk Pipe confirmed once again the high quality of its pipes and got new opportunities to develop sales in the European Union. Furthermore, we strengthened our position in Europe."
