Quality – the solid basis for success and growth
Quality and legal certainty
Whether you need maximum legal certainty with the new Food Conformity Directive 10/2011, factory test certificates or declarations of conformity. The documentation of processes is becoming increasingly important. Contact us.
Factory test certificates according to DIN 10204
European Standard EN 10204 specifies various types of test documents that can be provided to the client in accordance with the agreements made when ordering for delivery. This standard supplements other standards defining the general technical delivery conditions.
We can provide you with the following types of test certificates according to EN 10204:
Certificate of compliance with 2.1
Certificate in which the manufacturer confirms, without specifying test results, that the delivered products meet the requirements of the order as well as the quality.
Factory certificate according to 2.2
Certificate in which the manufacturer confirms, stating non-specific tests, that the delivered products meet the requirements of the order and quality.
Acceptance test certificate according to 3.1
In an acceptance test certificate according to 3.1, the manufacturer confirms, stating the specific test results, that the delivered products meet the requirements specified in the purchase order. The acceptance test certificate is confirmed by an acceptance representative of the manufacturer who is independent of the manufacturing department.
A manufacturer may include in the Acceptance Test Certificate 3.1 test results obtained on the basis of specific testing of the starting material(s) he uses. However, this is only possible under the condition that he applies procedures to ensure traceability and can present the corresponding inspection certificate. Otherwise, the test results are determined from machined specimens from the corresponding semi-finished product production batch.
Testing costs are incurred for an acceptance test certificate according to 3.1 (depending on the desired test results). In addition, we charge a handling fee.
Non-specific tests in this context are tests intended to determine whether products manufactured according to the same product specification and by the same process meet the requirements specified in the purchase order. The products tested do not necessarily have to come from the delivery itself, but can come from various comparable productions.
EU Directive 10/2011
We also prepared ourselves at an early stage for the requirements imposed by EU Regulation 10/2011: All TEPLAST parts marked with the company’s own FG label have been screened as part of the complete manufacturing process so that they are 100 percent EU-compliant and can therefore also be used in highly sensitive areas such as food and drug production.
In this way, we not only provide our customers with the usual good TEPLAST quality, but we also guarantee the maximum legal security they have come to expect from us.
Declarations of conformity
These are documents in which a certain property (FDA, biocompatibility, fire class according to UL, drinking water approvals, …) of the material or for its used starting material is declared.
Other approvals are possible, we ask to clarify these on request.
