ISO 9000 family of standards
- Scrap treatment and recycling including scrap decontamination
- Requirements and results of adjustments to European and IISI
integrated environmental standards
- TEEMS and case studies of environmental risk and impact assessment
in Czech metallurgy and engineering
- Iron and steel industry and the best available techniques
- Advanced magnetic separation technologies of metal wastes
Participants obtained document "Steel Industry in the Czech
Republic on the Threshold of the new Millennium" prepared by the
Steel Federation (Hutnictví železa) as well as technical papers on the
above listed technical topics.
As a part of Study Tour programme industrial visits to the following
enterprises/companies were prepared and implemented:
- KOVOŠROT Kladno - scrap recycling facility
- THERMOSONDY Kladno - thermoprobes manufacturer for foundries and
steelworks
- ŠKODA Klatovy - producer of industrial furnaces and heat
processing equipment for metallurgy, mechanical engineering,, glass
