The Quality Management System of the HAEA successfully passes the test

2015.03.27

After its successful audit, the ISO 9001 Quality Management System Certification of the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority is valid for another three years. The HAEA staff has been preparing itself for the audit for several months revising and updating all the processes, workflows and the quality management document of the organization.


In 2002, the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority developed its Quality Management System (QMS), which complies with the requirements of BS EN ISO 9001 standard certified by the Hungarian Standards Board. According to the strict rules, there is an internal and an external review every year and a so-called recertification process takes place every three years at the Authority.

By the QMS certification the HAEA proves to its clients, the domestic and international organizations and the general public, that its internal work processes, regulations, records management, and the management of the affairs of the external partners meet the most stringent quality control standards.

The recertification process was carried out by the Hungarian Standards Board in March 2015. Ms Judit Silye, quality control manager of the Authority, said that during the preparation the operation and document management of all the departments at the Authority had been revised and the quality control documentation supporting the main processes had been updated as necessary. Ms Silye added: "The Standards Board previously received the report in which the results of the internal review and the achievement of specified development proposals in the last year were summarized."

As Mr István Kapuvári, Deputy Head of Department at the Hungarian Standards Board, pointed out at the handover of the certification document: the quality management system of the HAEA worked well and met the requirements of the standard, notwithstanding the high workload at the Authority.

The certification document, with maintenance decisions to be issued in 2016 and 2017, is valid for three years.
