Certifications

Steel is the basis of your work. Protecting it is our task. And this is precisely our focus. More precisely, on the quality of the results.

Each step in the process is supervised and controlled by expert staff. You can therefore count on the highest quality and concentrate on what really matters when working with the ZINKPOWER Group. We focus on first-class standards so that you can concentrate on your projects with peace of mind and experience the partnership with ZINKPOWER as a strong advantage.

Our Quality and Environment Certificates

EN ISO 1461 (Europe) and ASTM A 123 (USA): Our principles in the galvanising process are based on the EN ISO 1461 standard as well as ASTM A 123, which regulates the requirements for the corrosion protection of steel structures by hot-dip galvanising. By fulfilling this standard, we ensure durable and high-quality surfaces.
DIN EN ISO 9001 and ISO 14001: ZINKPOWER companies are certified according to these internationally recognised standards for quality and environmental management.
ISO 50001: In all German plants and at ZINKPOWER Neumarkt the Energy management systems have been certified in accordance with DIN EN 50001. This underlines our goal of optimising energy consumption and reducing the environmental impact in all areas of production.
U-sign - DASt (German Steel Commission) Guidelines 022: Since November 2009, all European zinc coating shops have been certified in accordance with the “U-sign - DASt (German Steel Commission) Guidelines 022” Certificate of Conformity. Our own certified examiners are available to perform magnetic particle testing in accordance with DIN EN 473.
EN 1090: All European ZINKPOWER companies are certified to DIN EN 1090. Manufacturers of load-bearing steel structures, such as metalworking or metal- and steel fabrication companies, are only able to sell their products within the European Union by using the CE conformity label. The corrosion protection of steelworks is also regulated by this standard. The following applies to hot-dip galvanizing:

The DASt-Directive 022 which became mandatory in 2009 fully satisfies the requirements of EN 1090. To ensure compliance, all our sites are annually checked by the “ifo – Institute for Surface Technology GmbH”

Green Zinc Evidence

Green-Zinc Improves the Carbon Footprint: Corrosion Protection, Durability, and Optimal Recyclability:

Green-Zinc combines all the advantages of hot-dip galvanized steel with a drastic reduction in CO2 emissions, making it the material of choice in metal and steel construction. Hot-dip galvanizing of steel is, by its very nature, a sustainable process due to its life-extending effect. This benefit is significantly enhanced by the use of Green-Zinc. Public tenders are increasingly emphasizing the circularity of materials and, at the same time, prioritizing the lowest possible CO2 emissions as a decision-making criterion for awarding contracts.

CLIMATE-FRIENDLY THANKS TO GREEN-ZINC

The ZINKPOWER Group was able to position itself at the forefront of this trend as early as the beginning of 2022 by becoming the first supplier of Green-Zinc. The zinc used by ZINKPOWER is mined and produced exclusively using green energy: Consequently, CO2 emissions are approximately 75 percent lower than those of conventionally produced zinc.

The benefit can be illustrated using the example of a project involving 100 metric tons of hot-dip galvanized steel. Simply by using Green-Zinc, CO2 emissions are reduced by approximately 15 metric tons. This improves the carbon footprint of large-scale projects and companies that use hot-dip galvanized products. The use of Green-Zinc is also crucial for the metal and steel industry in light of regulatory requirements for carbon footprint accounting, such as those set forth in the EU’s Green Deal. Companies that prepare for this early on can thereby secure increasing economic advantages.

Rely on a trusting partnership with ZINKPOWER and benefit from our service, our corrosion protection advice and the leading quality in hot-dip galvanising - because your success is our incentive.
