Any project should ensure quality in its construction materials. Quality is so important to client satisfaction that steel bar grating manufacturing companies seek to obtain fabrication process certifications in order to supply the highest possible quality.
These certifications are established by international organizations whose objective is to standardize requirements throughout the world regarding quality management:
- COTECNA
ISO 9001 certification guarantees national and international clients that its manufacturer meets the required quality standards and regulations by the market. - LAPEM

LAPEM Certification allows the manufacturing companies to provide galvanized products and services to the Commission. - AAR M-1003
The Association of American Railroads in its specification M-1003 Section J for quality assurance, points out the requirements to be met for reliable suppliers of the AAR. AAR M-1003 Certification enables companies to provide Steel Bar Grating running boards to the rail industry.
Steel Bar Grating Manufacturing Companies should also consider being members of specific associations that are committed into best practices:
- NAAMM
