The validity of the certificate was extended for another year, which allows the enterprise to produce rolled metal for the EU market

Dnipro Metallurgical Plant (DMZ), a member of the DCH Group, has successfully passed a supervisory inspection of the hot-rolled steel production control system in accordance with EN standards. This is stated in the company’s press release.

DMZ annually confirms to representatives of the certification body that the factory production control system operates in compliance with all the requirements of the EU Building Regulations. The online inspection was conducted in April and the results were received in May.

During interviews with representatives of the production departments, the auditors checked the correctness of the process documentation, compliance of documents and processes with approved documented methods and standards. Special attention was paid to the equipment and employees directly involved in quality control of billets and finished rolled products.

«In the final report, the auditors noted that despite the difficult times in the country, DMZ’s in-process production control system meets all European requirements. The certificate has been extended for another year, which allows the company to produce rolled steel products for the European steel market,” the company summarizes.

In January-May 2024, DMZ reduced rolled steel production by 29% compared to the same period in 2023, to 30 thousand tons. Coke production increased by 9.7% y/y – to 119.1 thousand tons.

Last year, DMZ’s rolling mills focused on producing mine supports, mine rails, small volumes of channels and angles for the Ukrainian market. In addition, the company has resumed production of profiles in accordance with European standards.
