EPSE Quality Label – an indication of excellence for Polycarbonate Sheet

The EPSE Quality Label, launched earlier this year by EPSE – the European Polycarbonate Sheet Extruders association comprised of the top-level PC sheet producers in Europe, helps customers to easily recognize high quality.

The Quality Label – an indication of excellence – can be applied by EPSE member companies on their polycarbonate multiwall sheets and technical data sheets, under the condition that the product strictly fulfils the EPSE Sheet Standard. It is therefore the manufacturer’s guarantee that the sheets comply with all requirements of the official European standard for polycarbonate multiwall sheets EN 16153. The label can already be found on many products - see attached images. All European PC sheet producers are highly welcome to join EPSE and thereby to be eligible to apply the EPSE Quality Label.

Commitment to high material quality

The objective of the EPSE Quality Label is to protect the quality and image of PC sheets. It is based on thorough research and high technical standards. As a quality label for EPSE members, it can be used only on branded masking. In this way, EPSE ensures a high quality of their members' products for customers.
