Parker Hannifin has joined a select group of companies that have successfully achieved ‘ready to supply’ status through the Fit For Nuclear (F4N) programme. F4N is designed to assist UK manufacturing companies in taking advantage of opportunities within the country’s rapidly developing £60 billion civil nuclear new build programme. Launched five years ago, F4N was developed by the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre with the support of its top tier industry partners and government.
Deborah Pollard, business development leader capital projects for Parker’s Instrumentation Products Division, Europe, said: “This is a significant achievement for us as we seek to develop exciting new opportunities in the nuclear sector in the UK and Europe and we see it as a growth area for the future for our instrumentation fittings, tubing and valves.” The rigorous F4N programme includes an online assessment, site visit and verification and a final audit, with the whole programme taking 18 months to complete. F4N audits systems such as health and safety, quality, human resources, training, innovation and sales.
Fit For Nuclear’s industrial advisor, Mark Knowlton said: “Fit For Nuclear is designed to help UK manufacturers prepare for the huge global business opportunities in nuclear new-build. Achieving the F4N standard demonstrates Parker Hannifin’s commitment to the highest industry standards in nuclear decommissioning and new power generation.” F4N allows companies to measure their operations against the standards required to supply the nuclear industry – in new-build, operations and decommissioning – and take the necessary steps to close any gaps. It is delivered exclusively by the Nuclear AMRC, part of the government backed High Value Manufacturing Catapult.
