ISO 19443:2018 – Nuclear-Grade Assurance for High-Reliability Supply Chains

Empire Protection offers ISO 19443:2018 alignment as part of our advanced governance suite—purpose-built for defence, critical infrastructure, and high-reliability sectors. Developed specifically for the nuclear supply chain, ISO 19443:2018 extends the foundations of ISO 9001 with additional requirements tailored to organisations delivering products and services critical to safety, national resilience, or regulatory assurance.

Implement supplier assurance programs with traceable, audit-ready documentation

Strengthen oversight through embedded internal audit workflows and risk-based controls

Accelerate pre-qualification for major projects in high-assurance domains
