Applus+ brand: the best quality guarantee on the market for your concrete
Concrete, with its many technical features, is considered a primary construction product, being used for many purposes, particularly for structural functions. In Spain specific regulations are applicable (EH, Technical Code for Construction, environmental regulations, etc.) according to the use of the concrete, requiring users to carry out numerous quality inspections during the construction process in order to guarantee its safety. According to the new EH Concrete Instruction, producers can obtain voluntary concrete certification, recognized by the Spanish Administration, such as that provided by Applus+. This is a distinctive element for the product, offering great advantages for its users. Among these advantages is the possibility of conducting fewer on-site inspections and reducing safety coefficients when dimensioning the product. These arguments carry considerable weight when marketing your product and in the quality transmitted, which producers will pass on to their customers.
Applus+ concrete certification includes the verification and assessment of all production controls according to use; product characterization, testing and follow-up processes the concrete must undergo during the production stages. Applus+ certification is based on requirements defined with strict technical and market-related criteria by a group of product experts and government officials.
