New project: ECCA Premium ECCA Quality & Sustainability Label 28
Why an ECCA quality & sustainability label? Increasing amount of organic coated coils entering the market are not suitable for external building applications and do not fulfill EN and national standards requirements Negative influence on the image of coil coated materials in general Pressure on prepainted suppliers to follow this product downgrading to be competitive Detrimental for the long term product durability and coil coating business
Quality & Sustainability Label Contents A Quality & Sustainability Label, which ensures that the processes of manufacturing are done in accordance to well-defined standards Application for the Q-Label by written statement Application for the Q-Label by independent certification Both technical and sustainability criteria Both product and manufacturer specific requirements Independent inspection and certification
ECCA Premium Technical and sustainability requirements Product quality Manufacturing quality Product with minimum requested performance level according to EN10169 (steel) and EN1396 (Al) Substrate type (aluminium only) Metallic coating thickness (steel only) Organic coating thickness and tolerances Colour consistency and gloss tolerances Adhesion and bendability Corrosion and UV resistance, fire reaction certificate Manufacturer adopts a duly certified quality management system (ISO9001) and a safety management system (OHSAS18001 or similar) Manufacturer is able to ensure regular quality control for the following: Substrate type (aluminium only) Metallic coating thickness (steel only) Organic coating thickness and tolerances Colour consistency and gloss tolerances Adhesion and bendability Product sustainability Manufacturing Sustainability Product does not intentionally contain any Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) that are included in the Annex XIV of REACH Manufacturer adopts a duly certified environmental management system (ISO 14001 or EMAS) Manufacturer adopts a social responsibility policy (e.g. UN Global Compact) Manufacturer is committed to follow the European legislation and limits set for resources consumption (energy and water), VOC emissions and production of wastes
