DIN 2303 Certified Sheet Metal Fabrications By Hydram

UK Sheet Metal Fabrication Experts Achieve Prestigious DIN 2303 Certification, Forging Leadership in Military-Grade Welding

Hydram Engineering, a leading provider of high-quality sheet metalwork and fabricated metal products, has achieved the highly coveted DIN 2303 certification following a rigorous audit conducted by TÜV Nord.  This milestone further strengthens the company’s already impressive portfolio of welding certifications, including EN ISO 3834-2, BS EN 15085 CL1, and ECWRV, and opens new avenues for serving the defence sector.

DIN 2303 is a stringent German standard specifically designed for welding and allied processes in the production and maintenance of military equipment.  Achieving this certification demonstrates Hydram’s unwavering commitment to quality and its ability to meet the most demanding requirements of the defence industry.

“This certification is a testament to our team’s dedication and expertise,” said Alan Bailey, Welding Co-Ordinator at Hydram.  “DIN 2303 sets the bar incredibly high, and achieving it on our first audit reflects our meticulous attention to detail and our ability to consistently deliver exceptional welding quality.”

The addition of DIN 2303 enhances Hydram’s existing certifications, providing established customers in the rail, earth moving and transportation sectors with even greater confidence in the company’s capabilities.  While ISO 3834 and other standards ensure general welding quality, DIN 2303 specifically addresses the unique and critical requirements of military applications, where high stress, varying temperatures, and potential combat situations necessitates welding of the highest integrity.

“This achievement underscores our continuous improvement ethos,” stated Hydram’s Quality Manager, Barry Edgar.  “We are constantly striving to enhance our processes and qualifications to provide our customers with the highest level of service and quality.  DIN 2303 certification allows us to offer specialized welding services for critical military projects, further solidifying our position as a trusted partner in the sheet metal fabrication industry.”

Benefits for Customers:

• Enhanced Reliability:  DIN 2303 ensures that welding processes meet the most rigorous military standards, guaranteeing the reliability and durability of critical components.
• Expanded Capabilities:  This certification enables Hydram to undertake complex military projects, providing a wider range of services to both existing and new clients.
• Increased Confidence:  Customers can have complete confidence in the quality and traceability of welding work performed by Hydram.
• Access to Defence Contracts:  DIN 2303 certification is often a prerequisite for participation in defence-related projects, opening doors to new commercial opportunities.
• Demonstrated Commitment:  This certification showcases Hydram’s commitment to excellence and its ability to meet the highest industry standards.

The audit was conducted by TÜV Nord, a globally recognized certification body with extensive experience in the defence sector.  Their rigorous assessment process ensured that Hydram met all the requirements of DIN 2303.

“We are immensely proud of our team’s achievement,” said Managing Director, David Greatorex.  “Gaining DIN 2303 certification on our first audit is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and expertise of our employees.  This attainment reinforces our commitment to providing our customers with the highest quality welding services, particularly within the demanding defence sector.”

Hydram thanks and congratulates its employees for their continued efforts and commitment in achieving this significant milestone.  The company looks forward to taking advantage of this new certification to further enhance its services and expand its reach within the defence industry.
