EN 15635 Steel Static Storage Systems Certification
The EN 15635 standard is a European specification that sets out the requirements and procedures for the certification of steel static storage systems. These systems are critical components in transportation and logistics, where they ensure safe and efficient storage of materials and goods.
Steel static storage systems are used extensively across various sectors including automotive, aerospace, electronics manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. The primary purpose is to provide a secure and reliable environment for storing materials or finished goods until the time of shipment. The EN 15635 certification ensures that these systems meet stringent safety standards and comply with international quality assurance practices.
The certification process involves rigorous testing procedures outlined in the standard, which aim to evaluate various aspects of the storage system's design, construction, and operational integrity. This includes tests for load-bearing capacity, structural stability under different environmental conditions, impact resistance, and corrosion resistance. Compliance with EN 15635 is mandatory for manufacturers wishing to supply these systems into European markets.
The standard emphasizes the importance of using high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing techniques in the construction phase. Additionally, it requires that storage systems undergo regular inspections and maintenance to ensure long-term reliability and safety. This certification not only enhances the reputation of suppliers but also promotes trust among customers who rely on these systems for their operations.
For quality managers and compliance officers responsible for ensuring adherence to international standards, obtaining EN 15635 certification is essential. It provides clear guidelines that can be integrated into existing quality management systems (QMS). R&D engineers involved in the development of new storage solutions will find this standard particularly useful as it offers a framework for innovation while maintaining safety and reliability.
Manufacturers looking to expand their market reach within Europe must consider obtaining EN 15635 certification. This not only opens doors to larger markets but also demonstrates commitment to excellence in product design and production processes. Procurement teams can use this standard as a benchmark when selecting suppliers, ensuring that they are investing in quality products from trusted manufacturers.
Scope and Methodology
| Test Parameters | Description |
