Certification of our management system

All Group plants are certified UNI EN ISO 9001: 2015 for the design, manufacture and sale of all categories of ceramic tile. The current ISO 9001 standard defines quality as the ability to satisfy explicit or implicit needs via a product or a service.

Since 2022, FLORIM S.p.A. SB has renewed its certification with the extension to the “EA/IAF28” construction sector. In addition to the design and production of ceramic tiles, the scope of application now also extends to “the installation of ventilated walls, raised floors, and glued floor and wall coverings”. In 2023, the company obtained SOA certification, necessary to compete in tender bids for public works.

The company's first ISO 9001 certification dates back to 1999. FLORIM and FLORIM USA also have UNI EN ISO 14001 environmental management certification. FLORIM S.p.A. SB, as well as being AEO-certified, was the first ceramics company in the world to obtain UNI EN ISO 50001 certification for its Energy Management System and the first in Italy to obtain OHSAS 18001 certification (now UNI EN ISO 45001) for occupational health and safety.

System and process certifications

CertificationFLORIMFLORIM USA

The current ISO 9001 standards define quality as the ability to satisfy explicit or implicit needs via a product or a service. A Quality System involves constant improvement of company processes and we have constantly renewed the EN ISO 9001:2015 certification for the design, manufacture and sale of all categories of ceramic surfaces.

TÜV has awarded us the highly-regarded EN ISO 14001 voluntary certification, which confirms the company’s compliance with a series of internationally certified procedures intended to improve the internal environmental management system.

Thanks to a careful energy management policy and aided by the latest investments in the production area also intended to improve energy efficiency, Florim was the world’s first ceramics manufacturer to obtain ISO 50001 certification of its Energy Management System.

The ISO 45001 (formerly BS OHSAS 18001) standard contributes to risk mitigation and improved business performance by creating a safer workplace and a healthier workforce. This international standard certifies the implementation of an internal management system oriented towards occupational health and safety.

Following a lengthy and demanding audit process by the Customs Authorities, we were awarded AEO certification as the first ceramic manufacturer in the Province of Modena to receive this major recognition. Authorised Economic Operator status guarantees the company’s absolute compliance with customs and security requirements in its foreign trade.

Benefit Corporation and Certified B Corp

Since 2020, FLORIM S.p.A. SB has been a Benefit Corporation and a B Corp. Benefit Corporation status derives from the company’s articles of association, while B Corp certification is granted by B Lab according to its standards.
