Mastering ISO 19443: Quality Management for Nuclear Supply Chain Auditor Training
Enhance Your Expertise with Our Comprehensive ISO 19443 Auditor Training Course
ISO 19443 is a nuclear-specific quality management standard designed to improve safety and quality throughout the nuclear supply chain. This standard builds upon ISO 9001, creating enhanced principles specific to the nuclear energy sector. It merges safety best practices with unique requirements to achieve optimum nuclear safety. While ISO 9001 focuses on the requirements of a quality management system (QMS), ISO 19443 extends these requirements with a specific focus on nuclear safety. These principles are intended to be implemented throughout entire nuclear quality management systems, particularly for organizations within the nuclear supply chain that produce equipment and services important to nuclear safety (ITNS), such as EPCs and manufacturers.
We invite you to join our comprehensive ISO 19443 auditor training course for the nuclear industry. Together, we can contribute to safer and more efficient nuclear practices! This course not only covers the foundations of the ISO 19443 standard but also includes an extra 1-day session dedicated to the study of auditing case scenarios.
