-
05
Quality Control & Testing
Incoming, in-process, and final inspection. Compliance with GOST 16708-84, QMS per ISO 9001:2015, EAC certificate No. EAEU C-RU.AD65.V.00235/22.
Two Engineering Foundations
Not marketing promises, but documented manufacturing facts.
Full-cycle manufacturing · import substitution
100% in-house production in Volkhov — a Russian manufacturer of low-voltage apparatus. Full cycle from blank to assembly and testing. No reliance on imported components for key parts. Decades of continuous manufacturing history — documented industrial experience.
- Proprietary tooling and machine park
- Quality control: incoming, in-process, final
- In-house galvanic line — proprietary part coating
- Non-standard configurations — no surcharge
Proven industrial reliability
Reliability built into the design. Carbolith (thermosetting plastic) housing — arc-resistant, does not deform, self-extinguishing. Mechanical fault tolerance: zero electronic components, full immunity to electromagnetic interference. Design safety margin +25%.
Housing Material
Carbolith (thermosetting plastic). Material resistance: up to +180°C. Product operating range: −40°C / +85°C, climatic category UHL3.
Supply to EAEU Countries
The EAC declaration of conformity is valid across the Eurasian Economic Union — duty-free deliveries within the EAEU, technical support in Russian.
