Conformité Européenne) mark, formerly EC mark, is mandatory for selling certain products in the European Economic Area (EEA) since 1985. The NF Mark from the AFNOR certification entity is a French compliance norm that ensures product safety, quality, usage ability, and performance.
‘The certifications fit into our export strategy for newer geographies as the CE Mark that endorses compliance with EU’s health, safety and green regulations allows us to market our products in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway,” said Mr. Ghose.
Winning the certifications also coincided with RCC clinching a new export order from the Reunion Islands in the western Indian Ocean, and a contract has already been signed with Enterprise Audemard Group of the French island for a year to ship 8,000 MT cement every month. The first shipment has already been received by the party.
Mr. Salim bin Ahmed bin Alawi Al Ibrahim, Acting Deputy Group CEO of RCC said: “The cement now produced at RCC’s Salalah plant has accomplished the strictest environmental criterion of Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+) content of fewer than two parts per million. The NF certification also opens up new market opportunities and we are now introducing a superior quality cement brand to the French colonies in the Indian Ocean Reunion Islands.”
