Germany’s certifying body TU"V Thu"ringen e.V. has confirmed that the safety management system operated by Tenex for the nuclear fuel supply chain is compliant with the international standard ISO 28000:2007. The Company has been issued a certificate valid until 2014.

Tenex has become the first company in Russia’s nuclear industry to receive a certificate of compliance for a safety management system covering the nuclear fuel supply chain. The Company has embarked on a move to apply the requirements of international ISO quality standards across its activities. As of today, Tenex is certified under three ISO standards: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 28000.

“The introduction of the ISO 28000 standard is a testimony to the seriousness of Tenex’s intentions to attain its strategic goals as the company appointed by State Corporation ROSATOM to promote products of the Russian separation/sublimation sector on the international market,” says Tenex’s General Director, Alexey Grigoriev, adding, “The fact that Tenex has been certified compliant with the ISO 28000 standard demonstrates to foreign customers a high level of our responsibility in ensuring the quality, reliability, and safety of the services we provide.” Tenex’s chief executive elaborates, “The ISO 28000:2007 standard sets out requirements for safety management at each stage of the logistics chain in the performance of our contractual obligations”.
