A Variogate is applied in potentially life-threatening situations. Naturally, it critically important that such a product meets the most stringent safety requirements, which is prioritised over financial aspects. To fully ensure the safety and quality aspects of the Variogate, all solutions are subjected to strict audits performed by TÜV Nord. This adds a high quality safety certification to all Variogate products. Long-term quality is structurally safeguarded by annual audits.
In today’s competitive market, achieving excellence and ensuring product quality are essential. At our organization, we recognize that success is built on delivering products that not only meet but exceed industry standards. This is why we prioritize rigorous testing and inspection, collaborating with the esteemed TÜV organization to reinforce our commitment to quality and safety.
TÜV certification is a symbol of reliability and trust, representing the highest standards in engineering and manufacturing. By meeting TÜV’s stringent requirements, we ensure our products comply with a comprehensive range of international standards.
Pursuing TÜV certification goes beyond simply meeting regulatory requirements. It reflects our dedication to excellence in all aspects of our operations. This commitment ensures that our customers receive products that are safe, reliable, and of the highest quality. With thorough testing and inspection by TÜV, we uphold our promise to deliver exceptional value, solidifying our position as an industry leader.
At our organization, we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of quality and safety, as evidenced by our ISO certifications. These globally recognized standards, including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 3834-2:2005, and ISO 9606-1:2018, validate our commitment to operational excellence and continuous improvement. Our adherence to these standards ensures that our products and services consistently meet the expectations of our customers while complying with international best practices.
Additionally, we maintain certifications such as ISO 1461:2009 and various welding qualifications, demonstrating our commitment to precision and the ongoing development of our technical capabilities. This includes EN 1090-1 for structural components, EN 14122-3 for safety railings, EN-ISO 9606 for welding quality, and ISO 9001 for quality management systems.
Furthermore, the successful passing of the Dutch “Glasparel-slingerproef” (Sandbag Swing Test) for our Variogate underlines our dedication to robust performance and durability. These certifications reflect our unwavering commitment to delivering quality solutions that adhere to the highest industry standards.
Many Variogates undergo extensive strength testing using advanced software. This testing employs cutting-edge structural analysis tools that automatically identify all key components of the structure. Such as connections, beams, plates, and welds – allowing for a thorough evaluation. The software is equipped with a wide range of engineering standards for structural verification across various industries, providing an array of rules, regulations, and safety codes to directly assess the structure’s integrity.
The strength testing process evaluates the structure’s ability to withstand different forces and conditions. It includes assessments for gravity stress, static stress, contact stress at critical connection points, and bending stress in key areas. By simulating real-world conditions, the software applies various loads, such as vertical and side point loads, while also introducing compensation loads to ensure stability and prevent movement. Additionally, all bolted connections are rigorously examined to confirm they can handle the stress without failure.
This comprehensive testing process ensures that the structure maintains reliability and durability under typical operating conditions.
