We take Quality Assurance seriously
All products are designed and manufactured to applicable international standards.

Armatec's quality assurance system is verified to ISO 9001 by Bureau Veritas.
All personnel at Armatec are responsible for quality. Fibreglass products are checked for quality before despatch. This includes taking Barcol Hardness readings to measure the degree of cure of the laminate. If the readings are lower than required, the items are post cured until satisfactory readings are obtained.
The quality assurance system provides materials traceability, so that if there is a problem in the future, materials can be identified and traced back to the supplier.
