The KOMO product certificate for rubbers and adhesives is relevant for manufacturers, distributors, traders, contractors, architects, installers and plumbers and anyone working for provinces or municipalities involved in sewage and drainage activities.
Either you’ll want to work with certified products to rely on high performance and prevent damage or maintain piping systems effectively. As a certificate holder you’ll want to demonstrate to your customers that an expert independent organization supervises the production process of the certificate holder, the quality of the product and the quality assurance thereof. Testing will demonstrate compliance to national and international product standards.
About KOMO product certification and testing
Certification of rubbers and adhesives with the KOMO quality mark guarantees compliance with the requirements of Dutch standards for products for the building and infrastructure sector.
KOMO mark testing demonstrates compliance to national and international product standards. Rubbers are tested on requirements for hardness, tensile strength, elongation, and volume change after fluid exposure and/or heat resistance. Adhesives’ performance tests strength measurements like tensile, shear and peel data and other adhesive property tests such as impact, odor, and aging.
