Ceramic Tiles
The development and implementation of the Qualification System for Material, Component and Construction System Companies (SiMaC) has shown that the possibility of reducing costs, without prejudice to quality, depends on the articulation of public and private agents to progressively increase the technological development of the improvement of management methods and product compliance levels.
This articulation happens within the scope of the Sectoral Quality Programs, through which the sectoral entities of manufacturers of products for the construction industry develop actions aimed at the technological growth of the sector, and the fight against production in non compliance with the relevant Technical Standards, following the guidelines of the PBQP-H (Brazilian Habitat Productivity and Quality Program).
ANFACER (Brazilian Association of Manufacturers of Ceramic Tiles, Sanitary Ware and Related Products) was founded in 1984 with the purpose of representing nationally and internationally the Brazilian ceramic tile industry. It represents a sector composed of 94 companies, which operate 117 industrial plants, in 18 states.
ANFACER is the sponsor of the Sectoral Quality Program (PSQ) of Ceramic Tiles and the Ceramic Center of Brazil, a non-profit and third party private law entity, is the Technical Managing Entity of the Program.
The Sectoral Quality Program for Ceramic Tiles aims to:
-
Monitor the quality of ceramic tile manufacturing;
-
Encourage product compliance with technical standards;
-
Encourage industrial and market technological developments aimed at increasing specific demand for quality and compliance with standards;
-
Establish a system for reducing the possibilities of irregular supply to the final consumer, especially those characterized as intentional non-compliance and that may violate the Consumer Protection Code, as well as highlight, highlight and disclose companies that are producing accordingly with the current standard;
-
Provide information to address systematic non-compliance;
-
Establish, where necessary, a review of the current PSQ to provide specific mechanisms to ensure that marketed products perform that meets user needs and does not undermine competitive equality across manufacturers.
