TÜV SÜD | ADVERTORIAL FEATURE
Safety Excellence – Training with the World’s First Accredited ISO 19443 Certification Body
Bridging the Gap to Nuclear
ISO 19443 enables organisations within the nuclear supply chain to demonstrate their quality management system (QMS) meets specific nuclear industry requirements. Building on ISO 9001, it includes additional requirements for products and services classified as Important to Nuclear Safety (ITNS).
THE NUCLEAR SECTOR IS ONE of the most heavily regulated in the world. As an increasing number of nuclear licensees require suppliers to be ISO 19443 certified, TÜV SÜD’s training and services are essential to helping your company compete for – and win – nuclear projects. ISO 19443 training bridges the gap between general
quality management (ISO 9001) and the nuclear sector’s stringent requirements. It teaches organisations how to apply a graded approach to identify ITNS items and activities, as well as fostering a strong safety culture led by senior management, while implementing robust traceability to minimise the risk of counterfeit, fraudulent and suspect items (CFSI). Dominique Kugler, an ISO 19443 lead auditor at TÜV
SÜD, explains: “While ISO 9001 provides a broad framework for any industry, ISO 19443 is specifically tailored for the nuclear supply chain. Without relevant ISO 19443 training, a company risks misalignment with nuclear safety concepts and related topics, such as CFSI and the graded approach, consequently failing qualification audits or tenders. This not only leads to delays but also creates a significant competitive disadvantage as the organisation struggles to compete with better prepared suppliers who have mastered the standard.”
TÜV SÜD’s ISO 19443 training TÜV SÜD was the first company in the world accredited as an ISO 19443 certification body and has supported the global nuclear energy industry for over 60 years. Its trainers are nuclear and quality management experts, and experienced ISO 19443 auditors. TÜV SÜD offers industry- leading training, with insights into the practical application of the standard in audit situations. This is particularly relevant and beneficial to auditors performing internal or supplier audits, as well as certification body auditors. Auditor training fulfils the requirements of ISO/TS
23406:2024 – Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of quality management systems for organisations supplying products and services ITNS – and gives participants certified to ISO 9001 proof that they have sufficient knowledge to become an ISO 19443 internal auditor. Dominique Kugler highlights the unique benefits of the third day of training: “All participants receive a certificate of attendance that displays the contents covered during the training, but only day-three participants receive a certificate that proves compliance with ISO 19443 training requirements for auditors in accordance with ISO/TS 23406:2024.”
Rather than relying on a single trainer, TÜV SÜD’s
sessions are run by a team of experts. This keeps the pace livelier, with a highly interactive and practical structure tailored to the needs of a global audience allowing deeper technical knowledge to be transferred to participants. ISO 19443 training is not only about understanding
requirements or achieving certification – it transforms that knowledge into a strategic advantage. By mastering the standard, organisations can optimise their processes, improve project execution performance, and differentiate themselves from competitors.
Industry feedback Having led upwards of forty ISO 19443 training courses already, TÜV SÜD has received consistently strong feedback from participants across the globe, including: “This course is an excellent way to understand
ISO 19443 and its implementation process. It is well suited for beginners, but also highly valuable for professionals renewing their certification. The training builds knowledge step by step, which makes complex requirements easier to grasp and apply in practice. Overall, it provides a solid and well-structured foundation for confidently working with ISO 19443.” To discover more about how TÜV SÜD’s nuclear
