Applus+ provides independent inspection and NDT for metallurgical and mining equipment manufacturing in China

05/08/2026

    Applus+ in China recently successfully implemented third-party inspection and advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) services for metallurgical and mining machinery equipment for core customers in the energy sector. This project established an independent quality control system throughout the entire lifecycle, strictly enforcing European standards (EN), preventing defective products from entering the market from the source, and laying a solid foundation for the safe operation of major equipment.

    Integrated quality control from source to delivery

    Unlike the traditional "end-of-point acceptance" model, Applus+ deeply integrates independent third-party inspection into the entire manufacturing process. By deploying on-site delivery engineers (Expeditors), we advance quality control nodes and integrate them into daily production rhythms, establishing a structured regulatory framework highly aligned with end-user specifications and international standards, achieving seamless supervision from raw materials to finished products.

    Advanced NDT for critical manufacturing components

    For key components such as forgings, castings, and welded structures, the agreement explicitly requires 100% comprehensive inspection. The project team combined advanced methods such as ultrasonic testing (UT), magnetic particle testing (MT), and liquid penetrant testing (LPT) to rigorously verify material integrity at every manufacturing stage. This "microscope-style" inspection strategy effectively achieves early defect detection and significantly reduces the risk of quality spillover.

    Digital reporting and real-time project visibility

    To ensure zero-time data flow, Applus+ offers detailed e-delivery and testing reports in English to end users daily. This high-frequency, transparent communication mechanism not only ensures data traceability, but also, through real-time warnings and multi-party collaboration, accelerates closed-loop rectification of abnormal issues, ensuring both project progress and quality.

    Reliable inspection data and full traceability

    Data integrity is the core spirit of this project's contract. Applus+ has established a strict record verification mechanism to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of all inspection data, defending the authority of reports with a high degree of accountability and fulfilling its unwavering commitment to excellence in quality.

    This collaboration is not only a successful implementation of quality control technology, but also a deep integration of "Made in China" and "independent verification." ​

    Applus+ will continue to leverage its world-class inspection capabilities to help the high-end equipment manufacturing industry improve reliability, achieve European standard compliance, and strengthen global confidence in "Quality Made in China" in the energy and industrial sectors.
