Why a quality and sustainability label for prepainted metals?

What is ECCA Premium®?

Specifications

Organisation and administration

How to get ECCA Premium®?

ECCA Premium® promotion

ECCA Premium®

Increasing amount of materials on the market not fulfilling the requirements of the national and European quality and sustainability standards

Increasing competition on price at the cost of quality and sustainability

All actors on the market are not constrained by REACH

No visible way to prescribe quality and sustainability

Competitive and well-known quality marks on the market, e.g. Qualicoat

WHY aquality and sustainability label?

Philosophy behind ECCA Premium®Goals and objectives

Make “Quality & Sustainability” top criteria for product selection by decision makers along the construction chain

Fight against low quality materials: promote sustainability and quality upgrade of products and ensure a level playing field and fair competition

Avoid deterioration of coil coating image by promoting sustainable and high quality product & processes



Specifications




ECCA Premium®

A quality and sustainability label, which ensures that the processes of manufacturing are done in accordance

to well-defined standards

Application for the label by written statement

Granting the label based on independent inspections and test procedures

Technical and sustainability criteria

Product and manufacturer specific requirements


ECCA Premium® is a quality and sustainability label for prepainted metal products designed for outdoor applications.

Goals and objectives

establish and grant quality and sustainability labels for prepainted metal products based on well-defined European standards

ensure an appropriate use of the quality and sustainability trademark ECCA Premium®, an internationally registered trademark

ensure that the criteria and procedures for granting the label are fair and harmonised in each country

promote the use of European standards for prepainted metals: EN 1396 and EN 10169


ECCA Premium® can only be applied for by a coil coater– Suppliers (paint, chemical, substrate) can/should make sure

their products are compliant with the requirements, but cannot be granted the label

ECCA Premium® can be granted to any coil coater whose line and product fulfill the requirements– Not limited to European coil coaters or to ECCA members


ECCA Premium® is product and line specific

Product:– Defined by its brand name and technical specifications– May vary on many properties, but NOT on paint type and

thickness– Exception: film thickness variation due to colour matching

needs is accepted, BUT a 25μm brown PE and a 35μm brown PE are not the same product

Line:– Coil coating process part of the line. Any combinations with

other process steps are accepted, but the requirements only relate to the coil coating part of the process


ECCA Premium® is based on EN standards and European legislation

Requirements divided in four categories

– Product quality– Product sustainability– Manufacturing quality– Manufacturing sustainability
