Accredited to ISO9002 and ISO9001:2000
Brafe is very proud of the fact that they were the first company ever to be accredited to ISO9002 - this registration was gained in May 1987. Our quality management system is approved by Lloyd's Register of Quality Assurance as applicable to:

"Manufacturing of castings and Repliwax investment castings, including machining and associated testing, with full traceability in stainless steels, nickel alloys, titanium alloys and copper alloys, including aluminium bronzes."

As well as having the best quality procedures in place, we always work to the industry's highest standards:

- ASTM
- NACE
- ASME
- ASME IX Welding
- API
- NORSOK II
- CRINE
- RINA
- Lloyd's Register of Shipping
- plus many quality awards and testimonials

Brafe has a policy of pursuing excellence in its specialised markets with the aim of exceeding customer expectations. This policy has been reflected by the most recent accreditation of Lloyd's ISO 9001:2000 Quality Standard. It is an updated version of the 9000 series for quality systems and is a tribute to every employee and the world class service given to our customers.

Our comprehensive analytical and physical test facilities give us the ability to maintain the chemical and mechanical properties of our alloys. Material testing and non-destructive testing is fully traceable for all our castings and test pieces, ensuring that product integrity is always upheld. Our capabilities include the following:

- tensile, hardness and impact testing
- corrosion testing
- micro and macro examination
- metallography
- phase examination and ferrite counting
- magnetic particle and liquid penetrant inspection
- Xray and ultrasonic examination
- advanced spectrometry
- hydrostatic pressure and vacuum testing

In addition to these facilities, we also physically inspect castings and machined components using our coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Dimensional reports for both trials and production batches are available with full certification for the materials. Independent witnessing of any inspection process can be arranged, in fact, any special requirements can be integrated into a single purchase order.
