Quality and certification
CSR
De Boer Staal and De Boer Snijbedrijf are CSR-certified companies. By fulfilling the criteria for the CSR certificate De Boer Staal and De Boer Snijbedrijf showed that corporate social responsibility is part of the company policy. But CSR (corporate social responsibility) does not stop with the acquisition of a certificate.

CSR is a form of business in which a company tries to strike a balance between people, the planet (environment) and economic performance (profit). The right balance leads to better results for the company and society as a whole.

NEN-EN 1090 certified
Since 1 July 2014, the requirements of CE marking specified in NEN EN 1090 have been in force for all components of load-bearing steel structures.
NEN EN 1090 has four execution classes: EXC1 - EXC4, where EXC1 applies to non-load-bearing steel structures, to EXC4, for heavily-loaded steel structures, the traceability of materials and labour being factors of great importance.
NEN-EN 1090 certified for all execution classes (EXC 1 - 4)
De Boer Snijbedrijf is NEN-EN 1090 certified for all execution classes (EXC 1 - 4). This means that De Boer Snijbedrijf is permitted to cut, bend and make holes in load-bearing steel structures that present the highest potential hazard. This includes, for instance, steel structures for bridges, stations and shopping centres.
Remarking
De Boer Snijbedrijf is authorised by Lloyds Register to remark materials with a 3.1 inspection report (formerly 3.1b) or 3.2 inspection certificate (formerly 3.1c) in accordance with EN 10204. This means that De Boer Snijbedrijf can easily arrange re-stamping for its customers. This has logistical benefits. As the customer no longer has to wait for the surveyor, the process runs more smoothly. Moreover, the plates no longer need to be stamped before cutting; rather, products cut to size can be stamped. This means that quality is guaranteed and the plate from which the product was cut and the properties and conditions it meets can always be traced.
