You're ready to shift into a higher gear when it comes to tackling complex coating projects on steel. You believe in creating win-win partnerships through outstanding customer service and operational excellence. You take responsibility—for people, planet, and profit. Qualisteelcoat is your next challenge!
The path to certification
Obtaining the label means complying with the applicable technical specifications:
- to inform clients about the production process;
- to execute quality control and testing methods;
- to constantly monitor the coating process;
- to introduce standard inspection forms in all participating countries.
Application
The scope of Qualisteelcoat includes bare steel, hot-dip galvanised steel, and metallised steel that has undergone chemical and/or mechanical pretreatment and is finally covered with a currentless primer, e-coat, powder coating, or liquid coating.
Inspection
The coater undergoes an annual audit by an independent laboratory approved by Qualisteelcoat to perform all necessary tests and production controls. The laboratory is accredited according to the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories set out in ISO/IEC 17025.
Assessment
The entire production process, as well as the quality control of the lacquered product, is evaluated. Strict mandatory quality tests are carried out on test panels both on site and in the accredited laboratory.
Certification
The paint shop only receives the Qualisteelcoat quality label after a successful audit of its controlled coating system. The certificate is valid for one year and applies to corrosivity classes with an expected lifetime high (15–25 years).
