Zinc Plant of Chelyabinsk JSC, member of Chelyabinsk Tube Rolling Group, was granted quality management certificate of adequacy to ISO 9001-2000 requirements and environmental management certificate of adequacy to ISO 14001-2004 requirements.

The certificates are issued by the competent international BVQI certification body on the basis of auditing of the company’s integrated management system.

The certification was preceded by a number of time- and labor-consuming efforts by the company specialists introducing the integrated management system complying with the international standards. BVQI experts examined the submitted documents and the company’s existing procedures of quality and environmental management.

Even before the certification, Zinc Plant of Chelyabinsk carried ISO 9001 quality management certificate in production and shipment to consumers of zinc and zinc-based alloys, issued by the German certifier TUV-NORD in 2005. The new certificates by BVQI extend the certification to the production and shipments of indium, cadmium and sulphuric acid.
