Quality at egeplast – generated from the very beginning

At egeplast, quality is the foundation of everything we do – from the selection of raw materials and the most stringent testing to internationally recognized certifications. Of course, our commitment does not end with the product. Through integrated management systems and a consistent commitment to sustainability, we ensure that we fulfill our responsibility towards customers, employees, the environment, and society.

Quality that builds trust

From tested raw materials to international certification

Quality is the result of well-thought-out processes. That is why egeplast works hand in hand with internal and external stakeholders to continuously improve the quality of processes, services, and products. The longevity of the products, in some cases exceeding 100 years, and the recyclability of polyethylene pipes characterize the product life cycle through to decommissioning.

The raw materials we use are selected for specific applications and are listed and monitored by third parties, including the PE100+ Association or, in Germany, the KRV – Kunststoffrohrverband e.V. in Hamm. Every delivery is inspected by egeplast Quality Assurance.

egeplast has its own independent quality assurance department with a laboratory area of approx. 285 m² and extensive laboratory equipment for testing in accordance with current national and international product standards as well as customer specifications. In addition, in-process inspections are carried out by operators and automatic monitoring systems during production.

egeplast products are internationally approved, monitored, and certified. Naturally, high standards for drinking water are maintained and products are individually certified. Compliance with standard norms ensures compatibility with existing infrastructure.

Integrated Management Systems

Quality Management

Quality management at egeplast has been certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 since 1997. The scope of application is the development, production, and distribution of plastic pipe systems for modern applications and installation techniques.

Environmental Management

The environmental management system has also been certified according to DIN EN ISO 14001 since 2009. Since then, both the conscious and careful use of resources and potential emissions into the air, water, and soil have been monitored, and environmental performance as well as compliance with legal regulations are evaluated. The product life cycle is also represented in our Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), among other things.

Energy Management

Based on the measurements of the energy sources used within the framework of environmental management, certification of energy management according to DIN EN ISO 50001 was quickly established in 2012. Using suitable measuring points and software, (significant) consumers are monitored and energy-saving potentials are identified.

Other Management Systems

Further management systems with a High Level Structure are currently being established, such as DIN EN ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety and DIN EN ISO 27001 Information Security Management Systems.

The processes are modeled and updated in BPMN 2.0.
