18. 04. 2024

SAPLAST has successfully renewed its QB49 certification, another step in maintaining its high product quality standards. QB49 certification is a prestigious recognition confirming that SAPLAST products comply with the strictest European standards.

QB49 certification is particularly important in construction because it guarantees that products have passed all necessary tests and quality checks and meet all relevant technical specifications. This ensures that products are durable, functional and safe for the end user.

Renewal of QB49 certification further confirms their commitment to quality and continuous improvement of manufacturing processes.

CSTB QB 49 is a European certification issued by the French National Centre for Technical Documentation and Research (Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment – CSTB) for PVC and aluminium products used in construction.

This certification confirms compliance with strict technical specifications and performance requirements, ensuring high product quality and functionality. CSTB QB 49 certification involves a series of tests and inspections to ensure products meet all relevant standards.

Some of the key aspects covered by the certification are:

Thermal insulation: Products must have adequate heat retention indoors, contributing to energy efficiency.
Sound insulation: The certification ensures products provide adequate sound insulation, reducing noise transmission between indoors and outdoors.
Watertightness: Products must resist water and moisture, preventing rain or moisture from entering rooms.
Wind resistance: The certification guarantees that products can withstand strong winds and storms without damage or deformation.
Resistance to mechanical loads: Products are tested for impact and load resistance to ensure they can withstand everyday use.

Obtaining CSTB QB 49 certification requires rigorous quality control and regular product testing by independent laboratories. This certification gives customers confidence that products are high-quality, durable and reliable.

SAPLAST successfully completed this demanding process, confirming its ongoing focus on excellence and innovation. Through continual investment in technology and employee training, Saplast ensures every product leaving its facilities meets the highest quality and performance standards.

One of the key factors in the successful audit was SAPLAST’s commitment to sustainable business. By implementing environmental management systems and using renewable energy in production, we actively help protect the environment and reduce our products’ environmental footprint.
