Kvarto sheets meet quality, safety and other requirements based on the technical standards listed below. Compliance with EU legislative requirements is supported by attest documentation and CE marking. Based on other requirements, we will also provide you with additional tests, acceptances and certifications, such as, for example, ultrasound examination, TÜV acceptances, certification according to Deutsche Bahn and others.

Marking of sheets
We mark the sheets with stamping and paint. Embossing is carried out cold in a low-stress point way. White marking takes place either on automatic signing machines or manually (mostly using templates). We implement Specific customer requirements on the basis of an agreement within the framework of individual orders, it can be, for example, the marking of sheets in the form of text (spraying white paint on the sheet) or color marking.

Testing, accreditation and authorization of metal sheets
We carry out technological tests in our own accredited testing laboratories (ČIA), which are authorized by TÜV Nord, Lloyd Register, DNV, SŽCZ, American Bureau and Bureau Veritas.
Accredited test methods that we use in testing:
- tensile test at room and elevated temperatures
- bending impact test
- hardness test according to Brinell and Vickers
- lamellar cracking test (Z-axis test)
- bending tests
- weld-bend test
- probing the macrostructure with sulphide prints
- evaluation of the macrostructure
Supplied control documents according to EN 10204:
- based on the order, we will issue the appropriate inspection certificate with the chemical composition of the melt and the results of the tests performed, such as mechanical tests, ultrasound, etc.
- statement of compliance with order "2.1"
- test report "2.2"
- inspection certificate "3.1"
- inspection certificate "3.2"
Receiving companies:
- SŽCZ, DNV, LR, TÜV NORD etc.
- possibility of acceptance directly by the customer
- multiple attestation only by agreement
We perform ultrasonic testing to verify the internal homogeneity of sheets:
- to verify the internal homogeneity of the sheets we use an automatic ultrasonic line with TÜV Nord certification or, in case of stricter conditions, manual testing.
