The PE100+ Association promotion of quality relies on the principle of rigorous quality control done by external, independent test institutes.
Worldwide independent test Institutes
We have selected worldwide institutes able to provide the quality and level of service demanded in our industry, and some of them are charged by our technical secretary Kiwa to perform the test rounds which qualifies our quality materials.
