Management System Certifications
ISO 9001 certification confirms that the Zoppas Industries quality management system controls the full life cycle of our heating elements: design, purchasing, production, testing and customer support. All main group plants in Italy, Romania, Serbia, Tunisia, China, Russia, Mexico and the USA are certified. Customers receive the same quality and traceability from any production site, backed by a documented commitment to continuous improvement.
EN 9100 (AS 9100) is the quality standard for the aviation, space and defense industry. It builds on ISO 9001 with requirements for product safety, configuration management, counterfeit part prevention and supply chain control. Certification of our Italian headquarters qualifies Zoppas Industries as a supplier of heaters and heating elements for aerospace applications, where reliability and lot-level traceability are essential.
IATF 16949 is the global quality standard for the automotive supply chain. It requires core tools such as APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC and MSA to prevent defects, reduce variation and deliver zero-defect supply. Certified Zoppas Industries plants in Italy and China produce heaters for electric and conventional vehicles (battery, cabin and fluid heating) to the requirements of OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
ISO/IEC 80079-34 sets the quality system requirements for manufacturers of equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres. The Quality Assurance Notification (QAN) and Quality Assessment Report (QAR) issued by CESI allow Zoppas Industries to manufacture ATEX and IECEx certified immersion heaters for oil & gas, chemical and petrochemical plants, with ongoing checks that every unit matches the certified type.
The European Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU (PED) governs the design and manufacture of pressure equipment. Approval under Modules H and H1, assessed by SGS as Notified Body, confirms full quality assurance across design, production and final inspection. It allows Zoppas Industries to place CE-marked immersion heaters, flanges and heat exchangers on the EU market, including the highest risk categories.
The European Space Agency’s ESCC 4009 standard defines requirements for flexible heaters used on satellites and spacecraft; detail specifications 4009/002 and 4009/004 cover specific heater types. ESCC qualification lists Zoppas Industries heaters among qualified components for space missions, where stable performance in vacuum, extreme thermal cycling and full traceability are required.
ISO 14001 certification confirms that Zoppas Industries manages the environmental impact of its plants systematically: resource use, emissions, waste and hazardous substances. Certified sites in Italy, Romania, China and Mexico set measurable improvement targets and comply with local environmental law, supporting both our sustainability strategy and our customers’ supply chains.
ISO 45001 is the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems. At certified Zoppas Industries plants in Romania and China, hazards and risks are identified, assessed and reduced with worker involvement, to prevent injuries and occupational illness and keep workplaces safe.
ISO 50001 certification recognizes an energy management system that measures, monitors and reduces energy use. At Zoppas Industries sites in Italy, Romania and Mexico, it means more efficient production, lower CO₂ emissions and a concrete contribution to our own and our customers’ decarbonization goals.
Management System Conformity Assessments
Zoppas Industries laboratories in Italy and the USA operate to ISO/IEC 17025 requirements and are recognized under the UL CTDP (Client Test Data Program), VDE TDAP (Test Data Acceptance Program) and CSA WMTC programs. In-house test results are accepted for product certification, shortening approval times for new heaters bound for European and North American markets.
The occupational health and safety management system at our Italian headquarters conforms to the UNI-INAIL Guidelines (SGSL), verified by an independent body. It demonstrates a structured prevention model and Zoppas Industries’ commitment to protecting its people, consistent with its Organizational Model under Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001.
TISAX is the information security assessment standard required by the German and European automotive industry, based on the VDA ISA catalogue and run by the ENX Association. Zoppas Industries sites in Italy, Romania and Serbia have passed the assessment, so OEM design data, drawings and confidential information are protected at the levels carmakers require.
Special Process Certifications - Railway Sector
ISO 3834-3 sets standard quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials: welder and procedure qualification, filler material control, inspection and traceability. Our Italian and Romanian plants are certified to deliver reliable, repeatable welds in heating elements and heating systems for railway applications.
EN 15085-2 is the mandatory European standard for welding railway vehicles and components. It certifies qualified welding coordination staff, validated procedures and inspections matched to the safety class of each joint. Certification of our sites in Italy and Romania enables Zoppas Industries to supply heaters for trains, metros and trams to leading rolling stock manufacturers.
EN 17460 governs adhesive bonding of railway vehicles and components, from joint design and staff qualification to process control. Certification of our Italian headquarters ensures that bonded joints in Zoppas Industries heating systems deliver the strength, durability and safety the rail sector requires.
