In the slate industry, quality has evolved over the past decades through the emergence and involvement of different organizations, brands, and regulations designed for this purpose.<\/p>\n<p>There has been a need to create a brand like <strong>Galician &amp; Spanish Slate<\/strong>, to make the quality of the product evident in a sector that is seeking new markets, where competition with other alternative products or slates from different geographical locations is growing stronger. The quality certifications available for Galicia slate indicate that it is a top quality product.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3987\" src=\"https:\/\/clusterdapizarra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marca-ce.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"110\" height=\"84\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The CE marking has been mandatory since 2006, which means the standardization of quality management and European regulation for slate. Additionally, products with this marking meet essential quality requirements to be able to circulated be marketed in all European Union countries.<\/p>\n<p>The CE marking is the first revolution of this century for the slate industry, which benefits slate in Galicia. Slate imported from third countries must also have this marking, and in this case, the declaration of conformity must be made by the manufacturer\u00b4s representative legally established in the EU. This serves as a brake on the import of questionable- quality slate from countries like China or Brazil.<\/p>\n<p><b>REGULATIONS- STANDARS<\/b><br \/>\nToday, there are three specific standards for slate; the UNE-EN 12326-1 \u00a8Products Specifications\u00a8, which outlines the requirements for slate; the UNE-EN 12326-2 \u00a8 Testing methods, which specifies how these testing methods should be carried out; and the UNE-EN 22190-3 EX \u00a8Installation Systems\u00a8, which explains the various methods for installation in construction projects, as well as the necessary coatings.<\/p>\n<p>The tests established in the UNE-EN 12326-2 standard can be conducted in an accredited organization or laboratory for this purpose, and they will be valid throughout Europe, aiming to unify criteria across different countries. The slate Technology center has a laboratory accredited by ENAC where these tests are carried out. This streamlines the market and reduces costs, as there will be no need to test the slate in laboratories of the countries where it is marketed.<\/p>\n<p>The results obtained from the tests on the slates characterize them, with acceptance margins set for each test. At this point, it is important to emphasize that these standards were developed by recognized experts in the slate industry from all over Europe, and the acceptance margins that have been established align with the reality of slate for roofing, naturally leaning towards improving the quality of the product.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 50px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Quality and standardization The development of any sector is always marked by the search for quality in the final product.
