New project: ECCA Quality Label|

29

Why an ECCA quality label?

� Increasing amount of organic coated coils entering the

market are not suitable for external building

applications and do not fulfill EN and national

standards’ requirements

� Negative influence on the image of coil coated

materials in general

� Pressure on prepainted suppliers to follow this

product downgrading to be competitive

� Detrimental for the long term product durability

and coil coating business

Quality LabelContents

� Both technical and sustainability criteria

� Both product and manufacturer specific requirements

� Independent inspection and certification

A Quality Label, which ensures that the processes

of manufacturing are done in accordance to

well-defined standards

Application for the Q-Label by written statement
