Our Certifications
Qualifications and certifications for an ultra-sensitive sector
Thanks to their historical expertise and the implementation of a proactive training policy dedicated to the nuclear industry, our teams have mastered the regulatory and documentary requirements (INB and ESPN decrees) that guarantee safety from design to commissioning, as well as maintenance services.
Our expertise is recognized by several customer qualifications such as UTO for EDF or CAEAR for CEA.
We qualify equipment according to the operating stresses in nuclear installations to which it will be subjected throughout its service life, in particular under thermal and radiological ageing, with or without earthquake, with or without immersion, etc.
We have been ISO 19443 certified since 2023, with the aim of ISO 19443 certification by April 2022 for all Boccard’s nuclear activities. These include 2C2I, Boccard Energy Solutions for new build activities, BCM filiaire nucléaire for CNPE and Grand Carénage maintenance activities, and BPV, given that Boccard is one of EDF’s 50 priority tier 1 companies. We meet today’s most stringent safety requirements.
For the ESPN, Boccard is the manufacturer of 4 nuclear circuits for the RJH project: RPK, MDG, REN and REH.
