05/03/2014: First CE-certified industrial silo manufacturer

December 2013 saw Symaga, a manufacture of steel structures, certified with CE marking according to EN1090-1:2009+A1:2001.

This implies Factory Control Production (EXC 2), which is certified by the Bureau Veritas, for Steel Structures Components, says the company.

With this stamp of approval, Symaga reinforces its goal of reach excellence in the manufacture of silos and structures that implement a 'Quality Management System' which in turn ensures a product submitted to several strict quality controls. This is added to the continuing education program and quality policy of the company itself, says the company in a written notice to The Global Miller.

"To achieve the CE Certificate, we have improved our 'Factory Production Control (FPC)'; we have created a 'Welding Quality Control Plan', introduced NDT welding tests, periodic corrosion tests, material mechanicals periodic tests and, finally, we added more and new end-product tests," says a company spokesperson.

 

"Moreover, we provide total NDT traceability, including welding procedures and welder homologation and welding materials traceability."

Another essential issue was Human Resources Training. Because the certificate requires welding personnel approved according to EN287-1:2011, welding inspectors and welding operators with NDT knowledge, as well as Penetrating Liquids and Magnetic Particles knowledge (training provided by TUV NORD) were involved.

Symaga becomes the first Industrial silo manufacturer with this certification, improving the reliability of products through this investment in its two main success pillars - its factory and its employees, adds the company.
