1.
How do we supervise our SECUMAR Management?
|
| The
very stringent requirements of the international standard DIN-EN-ISO
9001 are applied to our Administration, Development and Design,
Production, Sales, Shipping, and Service and Maintenance Departments.
These sections of our company are integrated in a control system.
The Management system is audited and certified annually by the DQS,
German Society for Certification of Quality Management Systems.

| 2.
Why does SECUMAR have a complete computer-assisted control and inspection
system for their production? |
| Men's
lives could be endangered by any mistake or malfunction of a lifejacket.
Therefore, SECUMAR production is controlled and inspected by computer-assisted
systems to ensure the manufacture of high quality products. All
production data is recorded and facilitates tracing back at any
time. |
|
| 3.
Why does SECUMAR subject an automatic inflator to the water test?
|
| Every
single SECUMATIC 3001 inflation device is subjected to an in-water
performance test before being assembled in a lifejacket - testing
the performance of the pill, the spring and the pin piercing the
CO2 cylinder. |
|
| 4.
How does SECUMAR guarantee full CO2 cylinders? |
| Every
single CO2 cylinder is weighed electronically to prove
the marked contents (CO2 = carbon dioxide). For example
if the contents were short of only 2 g of CO2, the inflated
buoyancy chamber would be short of 1daN buoyancy (1 litre of volume)
! |
|
| 5.
How do we inspect the assembly of inflator and lifejacket? |
| The
torque assembly of the inflator in the lifejacket is computer assisted
and therefore absolutely reliable so that in distress situations
the lifejacket and inflator will perform reliably. |
|
| 6.
What about the "pressure test"? |
| Every
buoyancy chamber is subjected to a pressure test at 100 mbar over
16 hours. And, a total production batch can be accepted only if
2 of 100 buoyancy chambers have passed a burst test of min. 1.2
bar. |
|
| 7.
Do the main components of the lifejacket come "from one source"?
|
| All
components of the lifejacket are supplied by Bernhardt Apparatebau
- SECUMAR / Wedel. Inflation devices (e.g. SECUMATIC 3001 S), fittings,
buoyancy chambers, protective cover, harness have been developed
and manufactured in our works. |
