Presentation

Since the early 90s, LAMPLAST has reinforced and renewed its laboratory structure, in order to support both quality assurance and research and devolopment of new compounds.

On one side, these efforts - combined with a strict selection of its suppliers among the most important chemicals producers - allowed LAMPLAST to gain UNI EN ISO 9002 certification in 1997, among the first companies in its sector. The certification has been later update to the current status: ISO 9001:2015

On the other hand, they made possible a significant widening of the products portofolio, with a special focus on self extinguishing and halogen free compounds. The fire resistance of some of these new products has been certified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. for the US and the Canadian markets and other certifications are in progress now.
