Mechel Subsidiary Recertified Following Railway Manufacturing Audit
10/23/2007 - Specialists of the Register of Certification on the Federal Railway Transport extend the term of Mechel OAO’s certification for manufacturing rolling stock axles at its Urals Stampings Plant subsidiary.
Specialists of the Register of Certification on the Federal Railway Transport (RC FRT) have extended the term of Mechel OAO’s certification for manufacturing rolling stock axles at the company’s Urals Stampings Plant subsidiary.
The audit, which was carried out on the "end-to-end technology" principle, traced the facility’s entire production process—from incoming inspection and pre-production to approved inspection and warehousing. The RC FRT representatives confirmed the compliance of the production technology and characteristics of the finished products (rolling stock axles) with the requirements attestable during certification.
The audit resulted in the issuance of a new certificate to the Urals Stampings Plant. The certificate for manufacturing rolling stock axles was issued for a three-year term.
Urals Stampings Plant OAO mastered production of rough rolling stock axles in 1996. Today, the subsidiary carries out full-scale production of 23 different axles for the needs of railway engineering and is one of the leaders on the market for railway locomotives rough axles. These products, after machining, are partially exported to the North American market. Design and technological documentation for axles was developed by Urals Stampings Plant specialists and is the intellectual property of the subsidiary.
The Urals Stampings Plant’s main objective is to manufacture products, satisfying the needs of consumers. This dedication is confirmed by the plant’s certification for compliance with the international standards, ISO 9002 from 1995 and ISO 9001 from 2003, for manufacturing dye forgings and tooled semi-finished products from structural, carbon, and alloyed steel, and titanium and high-temperature alloys. Additionally, in 2002, the plant obtained the license to manufacture products for export in compliance with the requirements of the Association of American Railroads.
