polaris 40 - EFFEBI

COMPANY CERTIFICATIONS
In 1991 Effebi obtained – among the
first companies in its business field
– the quality certification according
to ISO 9002; in 1995 it was one of
the first companies in Italy which got
ISO 9001 certification, the strictest
quality standard certification, which
includes also the engineering and
design of the products. During 2001,
Effebi updated again its quality
certification, to assimilate the
changes introduced by ISO
9001:2000. These are important
improvements, which concern the
company dynamics, such as the
“customer satisfaction”, which
evaluates and improves the
comprehensive satisfaction level of
the customers and an attention more
focused on human resources, to bear
out the theory which asserts that
people form the companies.
CE-PED COMPLIANCE
The European Directive 97/23/CE for
valves has the aim to protect the
consumers against the risks of bursting
in equipments under pressure. Ball
valves are submitted to this regulation
and Effebi has since long time spent
all the necessary efforts to conform its
products; from June 2002 all our valves
are manufactured according to the
Directive and, if necessary, they have
the CE logo stamped on the body.
Our choice was to conform our
products and require the CE logo
putting our valves in the most limiting
list, granting the highest safety level to
our customers.
We have also required the intervention
of an international authority (the Buro
Veritas), which has checked and will
oversee in the future all the production
procedures, from the planning to the
final tests.
“Q AVR” QUALITY BRAND
During last February, Effebi supported
a project promoted by Anima-AVR,
oriented toward the introduction of
an Italian Brand for manufacturers of
high quality valves, taps and fittings.
The project involved some Italian
producers chosen through many
quality qualifications, production and
organizing performances.
The aim was to make a brand which
gives importance to the main features
of the best Italian manufacturers:
experience, innovation, qualityoriented
structure, certifications from
main Italian and International
Authorities, after sales service,
personnel training.
The result was the introduction of “Q
AVR” Quality Brand, which our
Company achieved on June 2002.
