SGS TO DEBUT AT BUILDING TEST EXPO IN GERMANY
Posted: 2013-3-21
SGS will be exhibiting building material testing and consultancy services at the
2013 Building Test Expo at the Congress-Centrum Ost Koelnmesse in Cologne
from June 11-13.
ABOUT BUILDING TEST EXPO
Building Test Expo is an international exhibition and technical forum dedicated
to effective testing and certification throughout the building supply chain. The
event promotes increased innovation, quality, safety and sustainability in
buildings and building materials by introducing advanced testing technologies
and processes.
Building Test Expo offers a comprehensive showcase of products and expertise
relevant to the diagnosis, development, research, testing, verification and
certification of buildings, building materials and construction products. Because
the Constructions Products Regulation requiring CE marking for all construction
products sold within the European Economic Area will be fully enforced as of July
1, 2013, SGS recognized the opportunity to present its global product testing
and system certification, auditing and consultancy services to a wide audience.
SGS TECHNICAL CONSULTANCY AND TESTING FOR BUILDING MATERIALS
When it comes to building components and engineering structures, compliant
materials of the utmost quality are paramount for every project. Keeping up-to-
date with the latest environmental standards, durable construction methods and
health and safety regulations is an overwhelming task requiring constant
research. SGS technical consultancy services provide unrivaled expertise and up-
to-the-minute knowledge in the areas of building materials and components and
engineering structures, enabling clients around the world to select only materials
of the highest distinction for implementation in reliable, safe and sustainable
construction projects.
SGS experts ensure building materials and structures comply with all relevant
requirements and regulations according to the thorough SGS due diligence
process. Utilization of environmentally friendly materials and processes and the
implementation of superior repair and service life maintenance strategies allow
SGS technical consultants to drastically improve upon project sustainability. SGS
conducts damage and durability assessments in order to avoid premature
failures with comprehensive risk and develops new materials and products with
the technical expertise necessary to assess building materials and components
suitability.
A world leader among providers of technical consultancy services for the
construction industry, highly-skilled SGS professionals have a deep
understanding of building materials. Over 40 years of experience in the industry,
unrivaled technical and regulatory expertise and its unique global network make
SGS the first choice for construction clients the world over.
The extensive SGS technical consultancy services portfolio includes damage
assessment, repair strategies, maintenance planning, modeling and lifetime
prediction. SGS experts provide environmental and health consultancy as well as
the inspection of structures for quality assurance and auditing. Services in
research and development encompass damage assessment and the development
of new products. Risk management is provided during design, construction and
operation to assess technical, environmental, economical and logistical risks. SGS
inspectors and technicians conduct testing of building material performance in
order to determine suitable application and offer technical assistance throughout
each and every project.
The long list of SGS materials testing services offers comprehensive testing for
metals, polymers and industrial lubricants. Expert SGS inspectors implement a
broad range of mechanical, physical, chemical and non-destructive testing
methods.
The world's foremost testing company, SGS provides the latest material testing
methods, highly-experienced specialists, state-of-the-art laboratories and a
global reach.
WHERE TO FIND SGS AT THE BUILDING TEST EXPO
SGS representatives from around the globe will be on hand at stand D-14.
Delegates from the Netherlands, Spain, China, Taiwan and South Africa who are
highly trained in certification and testing as well as acquisition are expected to
attend. SGS is pleased to announce that Mario Delamboy, Ramon Vincente, Juli
Gahi, Jack Kuo and Andreas Baptist are onboard to staff the SGS booth and
present SGS services.
Andreas Baptist will give a presentation entitled, "CE Marking – What's in it for
me?", which will outline the benefits of CE marking for manufacturers, importers,
distributors specifiers and purchasers. This informative presentation will also
tackle the important questions of whether CE marking will increase sales and
improve upon product quality, answer the ultimate question of whether voluntary
CE marking makes sense and explain the advantages of comparing similar
products according to manufacturer Declaration of Performance.
SGS looks forward to this unique opportunity to meet prior, existing and future
clients and discuss how SGS services can help guarantee each project reliable,
safe, sustainable and compliant.
