Qualicoat is an international non-profit association that carries out voluntary certification of companies that paint and certify powder paints, dyes and chemicals. The Qualicoat certificate is a "quality mark" for metal coatings in architectural structures.
Qualicoat members include many national associations of Europe, Australia, South Africa, the Middle East, Russia, China. Membership is open to all national associations that unite producers engaged in painting, as well as producers of paints, powders, dyes and chemicals.
The organisation is participating in the support for and promotion of the idea of high quality coatings on aluminium and its alloys for architectural applications.
Qualicoat determines a list of minimum requirements for the quality of coatings and equipment of a production facility (and its laboratory) in order to ensure the required level of product quality.
Participation in the organisation and interaction with the licenced production facilities benefits all interested parties:
National associations work together with a test laboratory accredited in accordance with EN 45001.
Production facilities that failed the test lose their licence.
