Being aware of these risks, we design and manufacture our systems in strict accordance with the relevant regulations. When it comes to the approval stage, our products are tested at twice the stated loading capacity (safety factor of 2.1). We have our very own on-site test area, where we carry out destructive tests on our products to check the reliability of the structural calculations made during the design stage, prior to starting production. The products authorised with a specific logo have also been verified and certified by specialists from a notified body at international level.
