CSTB certification introduction _globalcert

CSTB certification introduction France building science and Technology Center (CSTB) is France Standards Association technology partner. The construction products and production processes provide assessment, testing and certification services; risk assessment; innovative construction products and production processes, quality assessment, building materials and components of measure; acoustic, thermal and mechanical tests, fire tests on innovation and traditional construction products certification; for architects, developers, vendors, contractors, planning and building professional certification; to provide for the tertiary buildings of high environmental quality (HQE) certification. For accreditation by France (COFRAC) commissioned to assist in the construction industry to optimize quality control process as of December 2004, CSTB have 755 a staff, including 350 engineers and research scientists. In order to seek to improve the architecture of peace and security, CSTB engages in four additional industry, research and advanced engineering, QA, dissemination of knowledge. Combining its expertise in the field, they allow the CSTB on including the urban environment, services, new information and communication technologies, and other buildings adopt a holistic approach. CSTB and authorities, architects, Research Office, in cooperation with corporate, vendor and helped France Government authorities to define and describe technical regulations and guarantee the quality of the building. CSTB is a State of the industry and business associations, belonging to the France housing industry sector administration. It is Europe's leading centre for research and evaluation. CSTB has a lot of experts, including construction materials and technical experts, equipment, installation equipment, heat engineering, acoustics, gas dynamics, lighting equipment, environment, health, new information and communication technology experts. As a large number of science and technology branch of one of the team, CSTB since its creation has declared its international mission. However, with the European approach to building products (89/106/EEC) of creation and its approval by the European Commission and the CE marking, CSTB's mission is more important in Europe. CSTB is authorized in France in the construction sector. As European codification and research groups, CSTB good help manufacturers breaking the European single market and to support their export. In addition to the EU, it also performs the following five other regional activities. �� Non-EU countries: especially those who are ready to join the European Union countries (Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Hungary, etc.) ? Asia: China, Japan �� South Korea ? North America: United States, Canada, Mexico ? South America: Brazil, Argentina, Chile �� Eastern Mediterranean: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Lebanon etc CSTB let it experts and experimental capacity at all times maintain the international call to perform consultancy work, so that they are in competition with the successful completion of their project prominence to their advantage. In addition, CSTB in other countries with technical support of the public and private utilities. France funded or EU support, this kind of support related to product evaluation, certification, and quality management. �� China: CSTB and CABR, CABR is China a 20-year similar to CSTB. As building society President, CSTB is already in Beijing and the Chinese Government in the construction sector on the implementation of economic housing signed an agreement. Building society will France industrial technology and the dynamics of technology in the field of architecture. CSTB in including the urban environment, health, communication, economics and sociology, and other buildings of every area to perform a wide range of disciplines and technological areas of investigation. In addition to a basic study on improving the knowledge, the research team focus on architectural issues and cutting line project. These areas not only against the risks involved and the support of the development issues, including information and communication technology applications and tools.
