Quality · Certifications

Nuclear power plants and marine engines. The strictest quality standards are S&W's everyday standards.

Quality Management

Quality comes not from inspectionbut from the system.

S&W has maintained its quality management system for more than 30 years since first certification to ISO 9001 in 1993, and runs it together with ISO 14001 environmental and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety management. Our goal is customer satisfaction in quality, price, delivery and service alike.

The KEPIC MN · SN nuclear quality system of the Korea Electric Association, class approvals from Korean Register (KR), DNV and ClassNK, European PED · CPR product certification, and manufacturing approvals from engine licensors — we hold the qualifications the most demanding markets require.
