QUALITY ASSURANCE

One of the main ways on which we maintain the highest standards in our EPS production processes is via the need for stringent quality testing. Our dedicated quality assurance department undertakes continuous testing which enables us to continually monitor the thermal performance, compressive and cross breaking properties of all of the polystyrene we produce.

Our internal quality control processes run seamlessly in parallel to our ISO9001 and ISO14001 obligations and the applying of CE markings on our EPS products. These tests are carried out in a dedicated laboratory with all the machinery calibrated and tested by the relevant accreditation bodies.
