DIN 18800-7 welding manufacturer approval
Certified quality
A challenge to your business
How do customers from the public or private sector know that
your welding workshop satisfies the high standards they demand?
Certification to the DIN 18800-7 norm gives them the assurance
they want. In Germany, for example, manufacturers of welded
products that may jeopardise public safety and order or, in particular,
put lives or health at risk require DIN 18800-7 certification if the
products are to be sold or used. In other words, certification is
good for your business – now and in future.
