CE marking to Agglomerate stone/ASTM Testing/GB standard
Agglomerate stone Testing and Certificate
CE Marking - Europe / ASTM testing - USA / GB testing – China
& Ecosafene have rich experience to provide Testing and Certification of Agglomerate stone
Manufactured stone, a new type of composite material,it made with the unsaturated polyester resin and fillers, pigments mixed with a small amount of initiator, after some processing, Because of non-toxic, non-radioactive, fire retardant, non-stick oil, does not leak sewage, bacteria fungi, abrasion resistance, impact resistance, easy maintenance, seamless splicing, the advantages of arbitrary shape, is becoming the decoration materials market The new favorite.
Ä CE marking for Agglomerate stone
ü CE marking is MUST when stone products are exported to EU market, otherwise:
ü The freight will be detained by EU CIQ according to law；
ü The products will be withdraw from EU market；
ü The legal action will be sought against somebody who put the product on the market without CE marking.
