Certification schemes
3i+g operates on the basis of three main normative documents, which cover its inspection and certification activities, and include the inspection/assessment methods and procedures and the requirements against which customers' products and processes are assessed:
- QUALANOD Quality Label Specifications for Aluminium Anodising in Sulphuric Environment
- Specifications concerning the QUALICOAT Quality Label for powder coating (liquid or powder) of aluminium for architectural applications. Within QUALICOAT there is a specific label for decorative finishes called QUALIDECO, which has its own specifications, as well as a special qualification for QUALICOAT coatings in marine environments called SEASIDE.
- Specifications concerning the QUALISTEELCOAT Quality Label for the coating of raw steel with organic or zinc coated coatings with liquid or powder paints.
The above certification schemes also include rules and procedures for granting, maintaining, extending or reducing the scope of certification, or for suspending, withdrawing or refusing certification.
