CE MARKING

The first products with CE marking

Our products have a number of highly sought-after international certifications, among other, within the construction, offshore and railway sectors. This is your guarantee of consistently high quality every time you buy from us and use our products.

In 2018, Fiberline became the first and only company in the world to display the CE mark on its entire range of GRP structural profiles. Even though this mark has been used for decades on steel and concrete, it is the ultimate recognition of the unique properties of fibreglass. CE marking makes it easier for you to compare fibreglass to other building materials.

Approved quality for sustainable construction

These certifications also mean that it will be easier for you to use our GRP products in sustainable constructions throughout the EU. After testing and documentation work lasting several years, in 2009 Fiberline became the first manufacturer in the world to be granted Germany’s prestigious abZ approval for its programme of structural profiles made of pultruded fiberglass composite. Now this approval has changed to become an aBG-approval (Allgemeine Bauartgenehmigung) which means that together with our CE marking our customers no longer needs to obtain one-off approvals to use our structural profiles in individual building projects. Among other quality standards it is worth mentioning that our profiles as minimum meets E23, which are the most stringent requirements to quality in EN 13706. See all our certifications here.


Approved for the construction, railway and offshore sectors

In addition to our CE marking, the German construction authority Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik (DIBt) has approved our profiles for use in the German construction sector. We have also been approved by Deutsche Bahn in Germany and Network Rail in the UK. Finally, we have also been approved by Det Norske Veritas for use on vessels and offshore platforms.

Other advantages

CE MARKING

Our products are CE certified according to the EN13706 1-3 standard. This certification is your guarantee of consistently high quality every time you buy from us and use our products. Read more

LOW WEIGHT

Fiberglass enables lightweight and robust constructions, making installation faster. Although the material is comparable to steel, the specific weight of Fiberglass is only a quarter of steel. Read more

STRENGTH & STIFFNESS

Fiberglass is an exceptionally strong material, rivaling steel, aluminum, and wood. Composite profiles offer similar weight to aluminum, while being just 20% the weight of concrete and 40% of steel, making them highly efficient. Read more

CORROSION-FREE

Composite materials are generally very durable, with only a few exceptions. They resist a variety of aggressive liquids and environments, resulting in long lifespan and minimal need for maintenance. Read more

WEATHER RESISTANT

Fiberglass is UV-resistant and can withstand temperatures between -40 and +80 degrees Celsius without deterioration of its properties. Additionally, it tolerates seawater and other atmospheric influences. Read more

ELECTRICAL INSULATION

Fiberglass profiles are electrically insulating. They are suitable for use in connection with all electrical constructions, such as along railway tracks, power plant installations, etc., as they are suitable for both low and medium voltage. Read more

EASY TO WORK WITH

The processing of fiberglass profiles is significantly easier than for metals such as steel, and just as efficient as for wood. This makes it easy to handle solutions with our profiles on site. Read more

THERMALLY INSULATING

Fiberline's fiberglass profiles have a significantly higher thermal insulating capacity compared to steel and aluminum. Read more

SUSTAINABLE

Fiberline's products are manufactured energy-efficiently through pultrusion. The low weight relative to strength and long lifespan make them a cost- and energy-efficient alternative. Read more
