Inspection & Test Plan

How Quality Is Verified

Every order follows a documented inspection and test plan. The stages below are standard; hold points can be added for client or class witness.

1

Raw material release

Steel is accepted only against mill certificates. Each heat is verified for chemical composition and mechanical properties before it enters production.

2

Pattern, casting and forging inspection

First-article inspection of pattern equipment and castings, including visual and dimensional checks before machining begins.

3

Welding and machining control

Welding is performed under qualified procedures by qualified welders; machined surfaces such as base plates and roller journals are checked against drawing tolerances.

4

Non-destructive testing

Magnetic particle or ultrasonic testing is applied to critical load-bearing components, such as crane hooks, hooks of lifting assemblies and welded structures, on request.

5

Final inspection and load test

Final dimensional inspection, coating thickness measurement and, where specified, load testing under witness survey before packing.

6

Packing and documentation

Export packing with moisture protection, marking per packing list, and the complete document set is issued with the shipment for customs clearance and class submission.
