Quality caused by qualified supervising

VDZ

Part of our self-monitoring takes place in the accredited laboratories of VDZ. VDZ is an international scientific and technical service provider for the cement and building materials industry. VDZ has been one of our customers for decades. As a testing, monitoring and certifying body VDZ is using our CEN Standard Sand for the external inspection of their customers. In addition to the tests within the framework of our own monitoring, VDZ carries out detailed analyses using different cements before each acceptance of a test sand quantity. The results of these tests show the high stability and uniformity of our product composition.

DIN Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering (DIN-NABau): NA 005-07-13 AA Cement

The DIN Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering (NABau) is responsible for considering all proposals for standardization in the field of building and civil engineering and for processing such proposals whenever there is a legitimate interest in standardization and guaranteed funding is available to cover the associated operating costs incurred by the committee. We engaged to declare any changes of the product composition to the DIN-NABau. Due to that, our technical director is member of the Working Group NA 005-07-13 AA Cement.

One of our company goals is the production of high-quality test sands. To reach this goal an extensive scientific and technical quality inspection system has been established for years now. Consequently, a quality management system according to ISO 9001 was implemented at an early stage. The satisfactions of our customers due to products of high purity, uniformity and environmental safety as well as the secured delivery capacity are crucial to us.
