Nuclear energy industries require quality support from qualified service providers.
Element Materials Technology is a network of testing laboratories that support the entire supply chain of nuclear power generation. Element laboratories have a broad range of testing services with the knowledge, expertise and quality systems expected and required for the nuclear industry.
Quality systems & approvals
Nuclear industries require specialized qualifications of their quality support providers. Element laboratories hold rigorous approvals from utilities as well as accreditations from:
- Nuclear Procurement Issues Committee (NUPIC)
- Nuclear Industry Assessment Committee (NIAC)
- American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA)
- International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
Following procedures
Element laboratories meet code requirements, standards, and guidelines of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), as well as specifications of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE), such as IEEE-323, IEEE-344, IEEE-382, ASME QME-1-1994, and ANSI B16.41-1983.
