Sealmatic: DGQA-Approved for Defence Applications

Sealmatic India Ltd, a leading manufacturer of mechanical seals and systems, has achieved a significant milestone in the defence sector. The company has recently received approval from the Directorate General of Quality Assurance (DGQA) for its products and processes for defence applications.

What is DGQA?

The Directorate General of Quality Assurance (DGQA) is an organisation under the Department of Defence Production that provides quality assurance for the entire range of arms, ammunitions, equipment and stores supplied to the armed forces. It also ensures documentation, codification and standardisation action for minimising the variety of components and equipment. The DGQA is more than a hundred years old and has a vital role in ensuring the quality and reliability of defence products.

Why is DGQA approval important?

Defence applications often operate in harsh and unpredictable environments, where reliability is not just a desirable trait but an absolute necessity. DGQA approval implies that the products have been subjected to extensive testing, including simulations of extreme conditions. For defence businesses, this approval is a crucial assurance that the supplied products can perform impeccably even in the most challenging circumstances. It serves as a gateway, opening doors to a broader spectrum of opportunities within the defence sector.

How did Sealmatic achieve DGQA approval?

The approval of DGQA for Sealmatic is a stamp of validation, signifying that its manufacturing processes have successfully passed stringent tests and evaluations, with detailed documentation. The procedure involves rigorous testing and evaluation of Sealmatic products and processes to ensure that they meet the demanding requirements of the defence sector. From material quality to performance under extreme conditions, every aspect is scrutinised.

What are the benefits of DGQA approval for Sealmatic?
