The certification follows the rules of DIN EN ISO 12944 and is available to all companies that coat steel with liquid paint. DIN EN ISO 12944 deals with the protection of steels by coating systems and takes into account all essential aspects that are relevant for adequate corrosion protection. The certification confirms that production processes meet the requirements of relevant rules and standards.
"We are one of the first bodies in Europe to offer this voluntary certification option. With this neutral and independent certification, companies have the opportunity to strengthen the confidence of their customers and increase their competitiveness," says Ute Brunner Bäurle, head of the certification body at IFO Institut für Oberflächentechnik GmbH.
