Frequently asked questions

What is a quality control plan (QCP)?

A quality control plan sets out how your parts will be made and checked: the inspection points, the checks at each one and the records kept. We support you in preparing QCP documents for your stainless steel project.

Can NSSC help with NDT requirements?

Yes. We support you in preparing the NDT requirements for your project, so the right checks are planned with production. Tell us your specification when you request a quote.

Which quality standards is NSSC accredited to?

NSSC is accredited to ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 3834 for welding quality, audited by TÜV Rheinland South Africa. Our welding procedures are qualified to ASME IX and BS EN ISO 15609-1.

How does NSSC check stainless steel grades?

We check grades with a handheld alloy analyser, which reads the alloy composition directly from the part. It confirms that the 304, 316, 3CR12 or duplex material is the grade your drawing specifies.

How does NSSC plan production?

Every job runs through our live MRP and ERP systems, from material to dispatch. We confirm your lead time with your quote and plan production around it.

What should I send for a quality control quote?

Send your drawings, the specification or standard your project works to, and any inspection or NDT requirements. Email them to info@nssc.co.za, or send your details with the form on this page.
