The manufacturing and construction of nuclear facilities involve specific requirements for processes, technologies, quality, and regulatory compliance. TÜV NORD supports national authorities as well as international operators and manufacturers with inspections, testing, and quality assurance measures along the entire supply chain – from documentation preparation and manufacturing site oversight to final plant assembly.
The safe construction of nuclear facilities requires qualified partners, compliant processes, and controlled supply chains. TÜV NORD provides independent inspection and monitoring services in accordance with the highest international standards – ensuring legally robust documentation and maximum project safety.
In the Manufacturing and Construction phase, we provide independent inspections, evaluations, and certifications – legally compliant, transparent, and in full accordance with regulatory requirements.
Whether in construction, maintenance, or decommissioning of nuclear facilities – safety starts with the material.
TÜV NORD offers qualification testing for components, materials, and systems, carried out in laboratories accredited to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025. This ensures that safety-relevant parts meet the highest technical and regulatory standards.
TÜV NORD is an inspection body accredited to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17020 – ensuring the highest level of neutrality and quality in technical inspections for national and international nuclear projects. Our services support regulatory compliance, lifecycle assessments, and the safe operation of your facilities and systems.
