UPEC CERTIFICATE
Subjected to specific tests, the surfaces of our products are evaluated in terms of performance and technical elements with respect to four fundamental indicators: resistance to wear (u), to impact (p), water (e) and chemical aggression (c).
The international ISO 14001 certification defines the requirements for implementing, developing and maintaining an environmental management system.
Work in progress
We have started the process of obtaining ISO14001 certification and we plan to complete the process by the year 2022.
The Gresmalt Group has obtained the EPD Environmental Product Declaration (Environmental Product Declaration), a voluntary certification that describes, in a transparent, objective and comparable way, the environmental impact of the porcelain tiles manufactured at the three factories of the company.
The EPD is a document aimed at improving environmental communication between producers, distributors and consumers, providing data on energy consumption and raw materials, on the production of solid waste, on atmospheric emissions and on the disposal of waste water.
The EPD is drawn up following rigorous methodological criteria which form the basis of verifications by third parties (independent and accredited) for the validation of the document, in order to guarantee the credibility and truthfulness of the information.

CERTIFICATION ISO 17889-1:2021 Sustainability for ceramic tiles and installation materials – Part 1: Specification for ceramic tiles.
The new standard defines a system for assessing the sustainability of ceramic tiles throughout their life cycle, using qualitative and quantitative indicators for environmental performance and for social and economic responsibility relating to the design, production, installation and use of the product. It therefore allows ceramic companies to enhance the performance of its products and to ensure good practices are implemented across the company according to a common, internationally valid framework to qualify their product and to communicate the level of sustainability.
