The Belgian Certification System For Materials For Concrete Pavements in the Context of the European Community

The goal of the BENOR certification scheme was to guarantee the manufacturing of high quality concrete and the building of better concrete roads and accessories with a lower cost. This was achieved by establishing a certification scheme based on the will of all the actors involved in the building process, that is to say the Public Authorities, the Producers, the Users and the Standardization and Certification bodies. The CE certification of the concrete constituents is based on the same principles and shall replace and eventually be completed by a national certification scheme.
