Standards and certifications

At HAI anodized according to standard ISO 7599, which complies with the requirements for a lead-, cadmium- and chromium (VI) oxide-free treatment process. Anodized aluminum surfaces are compatible with DGNB's requirements for sustainability in the construction industry if they comply with criterion ENV1.2 "Environmental risks for construction products". ENV1.2 places restrictions on the use of hazardous substances according to the CLP regulation and REACH.

DGNB stands for Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen and is a voluntary certification scheme within sustainable construction. The scheme gives equal weight to the environment, economy and social conditions. Green Building Council Denmark (DK-GBC) stands for the DGNB certification in Denmark. If you need a DGNB sustainability statement, you can find it here on the page.

HAI can anodize aluminum that must come into contact with food. HAI can issue a declaration of conformity that describes that the anodized product complies with the European standard, DS/EN 14392, which deals with requirements for anodized products for use in contact with food. The declaration will contain information that the anodized product complies with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004, concerning materials and objects intended for contact with food. HAI has a quality assurance system that meets the requirements of Regulation (EC) No. 2023/2006 concerning good manufacturing practice (GMP) for materials and articles in contact with food.
As a customer, you yourself are responsible for the alloy complying with the requirements of the standard DS/EN 601 or DS/EN 602. As a customer, you are also responsible for subsequent use in contact with food. HAI recommends that all goods be ordered with a 3.1 material certificate to meet the requirements of Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 – Article 17 on traceability.
