WHAT IS QUALITY
ASSURANCE AND QUALITY
CONTROL (QA/QC)?
Quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC)
are two different activities that are part of quality
management. QA is focussed on the process
used to measure and provide confidence that
quality requirements will be fulfilled, thereby
preventing defects. Examples of QA activities
include the examination and coordination of
production documents and manufacturing
supervision. QC is the process that ensures that
the quality requirements are indeed met by
identifying and correcting defects. This includes
the inspection of semi-finished products before
and after processing.

WHY IS QUALITY
MANAGEMENT IMPORTANT?
New build plant projects are always expected to
be completed in a timely and cost-effective
manner while complying with national and
international regulations and requirements.
Having a good quality management programme
minimises defects and enables smooth transition
through all phases of the project. In addition,
ensuring the quality of structures, components,
equipment and systems in a plant may improve
its operability, availability, reliability, and
maintainability throughout the rest of its lifetime.
TÜV SÜD ENSURES THAT
YOUR CHEMICAL
PROCESSING PLANT IS BUILT
TO QUALITY STANDARDS.
From the design stage, we ensure that your
components are compliant with relevant
standards and requirements. Our experts can
conduct tests on components at your suppliers’
site and recommend any adjustments required
during the manufacturing process to ensure that
they can meet your specifications, timeline and
budget. We also certify your components
according to PED 2014/68 / EU, ensuring market
access when required.
With our global multidisciplinary pool of experts
which include welding engineers, welding
technicians and inspectors experienced with the
requirements of the chemical and pharmaceutical
industries, we will be able to support you in over
1,000 locations worldwide.
