Do you supply EN 10204 3.1 material certificates?

Yes, on request. Ask at enquiry stage rather than after the order, because the material has to be bought against the certificate — raising it early puts it in the quotation instead of into an argument about who pays for it.

What delivery terms do you quote?

Tell us the destination and the terms you work to and we will quote against them. We do not publish a standard set of Incoterms, because the right terms depend on the job and the route.

Are you certified to weld railway assemblies?

Yes. Welding is carried out under ISO 3834, and for rail vehicle work under EN 15085 as well. Current certificates go out with the quotation, or separately if your vendor file needs them first.

Can you work to a standard we do not commonly use in India?

Send the drawing and name the standard. We will tell you plainly whether we can work to it, which is more use to you than a yes we cannot stand behind.

Do you have a standard range we can order from?

No. Everything here is made to the customer drawing and specification, so there is no catalogue part to compromise towards. Send the drawing, or a sketch with dimensions, and we will quote it.

A manufacturing partner in India

An Indian supplier is easy to find and hard to qualify. This page is written for the engineer who has to decide whether we are worth an audit: what the works is certified to, what documentation leaves with the goods, and what we will not claim.

WHAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY BUYING

Your drawing, not our catalogue

There is no standard range here to compromise towards. Almost everything that leaves this plant was designed for one customer and exists nowhere else. That matters more across a border than within one: you are not being asked to accept the nearest thing in stock and discover the difference on arrival.

The works is certified, not the part

ISO 3834 and EN 15085 audit the manufacturer. An auditor came here, looked at how procedures are qualified, how welders are approved and how results are recorded, and certified the shop rather than any one job. That is the thing you are buying access to. What the two standards govern →

WHAT ARRIVES WITH THE GOODS

Material traceability

EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates, traceable to the heat, are available on request. Ask at enquiry rather than after the order: the material has to be bought against the certificate, so raising it early puts it in the quotation instead of into a conversation about who pays for it.

The record, not just the result

Every vessel is leak and pressure tested in house and the result is recorded against the job number. A route card follows the job stage by stage. When something is queried two years later, the history can be reconstructed rather than remembered.

THE AUDIT WE HAVE ALREADY PASSED

Safety-critical rail, under EN 15085

Indian Railways is among the customers, and this works is an approved source for Integral Coach Factory and Diesel Locomotive Works — two of the railway's own production units, which assess and list a supplier before an order can be placed. Rolling stock is not a forgiving place to learn. EN 15085 is a European standard applied well beyond Europe, so a buyer in Germany, Turkey or Australia is reading a credential issued against the same rules they audit their own suppliers to.

Certificates travel with the quotation

Current ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 3834 and EN 15085 certificates go out with the quotation, or separately if your vendor file needs them before you can raise an enquiry. Ask and they are sent the same day.

WHAT WE WILL NOT GUESS AT

Delivery terms

We do not publish a standard set of Incoterms. Tell us the destination and the terms you work to and we will quote against them. A supplier who names terms before knowing the route is quoting a number they have not costed.

Lead time

Quoted against your drawing, not before it. A repeat part and a first article are different jobs, and material availability moves. You will get a date we intend to hold rather than one that reads well in an email.
