The manufacturers of materials of technical isolation create the European group of interest CEFEP

The main European manufacturers of materials of technical isolation elaborated with plastic foams have joined his strengths to create the European Group of Interest FEF and PEF (CEFEP). In this new organism Armacell assumes the presidency through his technical director European, Georg Eleftheriadis. The CEFEP is integrated cheese cheese by the main manufacturers of technical isolations elaborated with plastic foams and acts under the protection of the European association of manufacturers of insulating materials GSH (Güteschutzgemeinschaft Hartschaum).

The group of interest represents to the industry in important committees so much national like Europeans, and pretends to orient of reliable form to the users to the hour to select and install products. Georg Eleftheriadis, of Armacell, also will act like coordinator of CEN/TC 88, WG10 TG FEF and PEF.

The Mark of Quality RAL FEF/PEF that provides to the user a reliable guide.

To be able to orient of reliable form to the users to the hour to specify, sell and install his products, the manufacturers approved at the beginning of 2011 some common requirements of quality for materials of isolation FEF and PEF and entered the Mark of Quality RAL for FEF/PEF. The Mark, entered by the association GSH the past March, is the evident proof that it fulfils with the system of quality and control. According to the rules of quality and proofs, the mark RAL concedes after a strict control. This voluntary agreement to control the products of continuous and independent form according to the statutes of RAL emphasizes the commitment of the Group to guarantee the quality the products. The Group CEFEP creates standard that exceed the minimum requirements Europeans demanded. This allows a greater transparency and reliability to all the involved in the business. Each member of the Group keeps a wallet of products and strategies of own marketing. It allows establish a direct comparison between the materials of available isolation. The CEFEP encourages in achieving a description standardised of the codes of designation of products taking into account the requirements of the norms of the mark CE. Said codes provide information on the properties of the most notable product, such like reaction to the fire and resistance to the diffusion of the steam of water.

The CEFEP also represents the mutual interests of the industry in national committees and Europeans. Has foreseen a review of the European rule for “thermal sensors isolation for equipment of construction and industrial installations”. This organism will advocate that the environingingmental rules accepted reflect in the norms, as well as a review of the nomenclature (in concrete, the meaning of the technical properties of each group of products). The CEFEP also will increase the contact with external experts, to those who invites to that they realise contributions in the subjects.
