DEHAAS works from Menaam in Friesland throughout the Netherlands, including North Brabant. North Brabant is the largest manufacturing region in the Netherlands, with high tech machine building around Eindhoven and Helmond, equipment manufacturing and installation work around Tilburg and Breda, and a dense supply chain.
North Brabant is about a two and a half hour drive; work is bundled into full days. Much of the work needs no site visit at all: a procedure review, an assessment of welder qualifications or a question to the Welding & Quality Assistant works perfectly well remotely.
1. Industry in North Brabant
North Brabant is the largest manufacturing region in the Netherlands, with high tech machine building around Eindhoven and Helmond, equipment manufacturing and installation work around Tilburg and Breda, and a dense supply chain. The working area within the province includes Eindhoven, Tilburg, Breda, Helmond and s-Hertogenbosch.
That industrial profile shapes the questions that arise here. Where a steel fabricator wrestles with execution classes and the FPC system, an equipment manufacturer deals with a notified body and a machine builder with distortion and dimensional stability. DEHAAS works for all three.
2. Which standards matter most here
In high tech the issues are dimensional stability, welding thin and precision parts and cleanliness requirements; in equipment manufacturing it is the PED. Many suppliers work to ISO 3834-2 at their customer's request.
Whichever standard governs, the question is always the same: can you demonstrate the welding complies. That calls for a procedure matched to the work, a qualification record covering the range, welders working inside their qualification and examination reported on time. See all services.
3. What an assignment looks like
Characteristic here is a major customer demanding an entire quality system at once. We map out the minimum needed to meet that requirement, without building a system nobody maintains.
A typical route starts with a half hour conversation about what is at stake, followed by a review of the existing documents. That produces a concrete plan: which qualifications are needed, which documents are missing and in what order that is resolved. Execution follows after that.
4. On site or remote
North Brabant is about a two and a half hour drive; work is bundled into full days. Inspection during production, witnessing a test coupon or attending an audit requires presence; document review, procedure writing and advice do not.
That combination keeps cost down: travel is limited to the moments where it genuinely adds something. See remote WPS and PQR review and our approach.

Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked most often.
Does DEHAAS travel to North Brabant?
Yes. North Brabant is about a two and a half hour drive; work is bundled into full days. For inspections, audits and witnessing test coupons we attend on site; document work and advice are handled remotely.
What does a welding inspector on site cost?
That depends on scope and duration. DEHAAS works per assignment with a proposal agreed in advance, so you know where you stand. Request a quotation with a short description of the work.
Can I have just my WPS reviewed?
Yes, that is one of the most requested services. You send the procedure and the underlying qualification record, we assess whether the range is correct, whether the variables are right and whether the document is usable by the welder. See remote WPS and PQR review.
Does DEHAAS work outside the Netherlands?
Yes, across Europe and on a project basis in North America. Reporting in Dutch or English. See vendor inspection abroad.
