Zaporizhstal of Metinvest Group has successfully passed an audit confirming that its hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel products comply with EN 10025 and EN 10130 standards.

In February, an auditor from Technical and Management Services LLC, a corporate partner of the TÜV SÜD certification company, inspected Zaporizhstal’s production processes for hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel. To verify that the mechanical properties of the steel met the required standards, metal samples were selected and tested at the plant’s Product Testing and Certification Center. The auditor also reviewed technical and organizational documentation. The expert gave high marks to the company’s systematic efforts to improve product quality and implement new customer-oriented approaches.

As a result of the audit, Zaporizhstal confirmed the compliance of its hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel products with the EN 10025-1:2004 standard, Annex ZA, and Construction Regulation 305/2011/EU, as well as the EN 10130 standard.

In addition, the scope of certification for hot-rolled products was expanded to include steel grades suitable for flanging and cold bending. This opens up new opportunities for supplying this type of steel to meet the demands of European customers.

It is worth noting that since 2016, Zaporizhstal has been operating in compliance with EN 10025-1:2004 and EN 10130:2006 standards. The plant has also been certified and regularly confirms compliance with international standards, including ISO 9001 for quality management since 2003, ISO 14001 for environmental management, and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety management since 2008.
