Activity of the AZL SIGMA
has taken up with years 1997 – 1999, when this body was established for the
first time within the frame of the “SIGMA GROUP a.s.” At present, this
activity has been renewed, however, in another juridical background in the
Russian Federation (RF).
Activity
of the Accredited Testing Laboratory (ATL) consists of execution of
certification tests of pumps, pump sets, valves and fittings and pumping
stations on conformity with safety requirements of regulations and standards of
the Russian Federation in two sections. On the one hand, in the GOST R
certification system for current industrial and consumer’s market segment, and
on the other hand, in the system of deliveries for nuclear and power supply
machinery (System of Nuclear Safety - SNS ).
All activities of the ATL within the frame of the
“SIGMA GROUP a.s.” have been provided by the “SIGMA Výzkumný a vývojový
ústav, s.r.o. (SVVÚ)”. As a result of the ATL activities there are
“testing records”, on the basis of which the Certificate of compliance” is
made out by the respective Russian Authority, which is the necessary and basic
document for import of products to the RF.
In case of current assortment of pumping technologies
(the GOST R system) there is the Certification Body “NASTSCHOL”, the owner
of the direct licence of the “GOSGORTECHNADZOR”. Relate to the System of
Nuclear Safety (the SNS system), there is the “ATOMSERTIFIKA” Authority.
The
“ATL SIGMA” working is possible on the basis of two certificates (for the
GOST R and the SNS systems) having been issued by the competent authorities of
the RF. These certificates drawing and making-out had required demanding
preliminary works that were finished by the inspection audit. These granted
certificates have qualified the ATL SIGMA for their activities for another three
years, that is, till the year 2005.
Since
the complement of the accreditation system, that is, since February this year,
the works in the ATL have started running hopefully, and besides the activities
in the sphere of product’s certification they have included the consultancy
and advisory spheres. An example of this is the ATL participation in arrangement
