SGS proudly awarded the CE Marking certification to Bahrain Aluminium Extrusion Co. (BALEXCO) for their structural products in the field of construction, specifically focusing on aluminium and aluminium alloys.
This coveted certification not only recognizes the quality and compliance of their products but also opens doors to the EU market for Bahrain's local construction industry. Valid for three years, this certification is a testament to BALEXCO's commitment to excellence and adherence to international standards, propelling them towards greater success globally.
Bahrain Aluminium Extrusion Co. (BALEXCO) was established in 1977 as the first aluminium extrusion Plant in the Arabian Gulf. With the main activity of producing aluminium extrusion products, BALEXCO took the lead in the region, in the production of high quality extrusions and systems, used mainly as aluminium doors, window frames and other products that are required in the construction industry. The establishment of BALEXCO was one of the pioneering developments in the history of the Aluminium industry in the Middle East.
The CE Marking rules indicate:
- The product complies to the technical requirements of the European Union
- Makes it easy for consumers to identify products classified by the community as safe
- Ensures compliance with the standards for packaging, labeling and safety to ensure that consumers are offered high quality products – often likened to a passport for product
Any construction product within the European Economic Area (EEA) must comply with the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR). This law states that all products traded or sold in Europe must bear a CE mark. A CE mark indicates that a product complies with the regulation.
BALEXCO has demonstrated their full commitment to meet the requirements of the EU – we are honored to be chosen as their notified body and we commend them for this remarkable achievement.
We at SGS play a vital role in ensuring that products placed in the EU are safe and that such products bearing CE Marks will not harm the safety of life and property for humans, animals and plants.
As the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, SGS is a notified body that has the necessary competence and responsibility to assist during the whole process of obtaining CE marking in the Middle East region and worldwide. As a result, we can provide product certification, factory production control certification and laboratory testing in accordance with the requirements of the CPR.
