Quality management system<\/h2>\n

At the Top Form Group, we implement a quality management system that employs regular testing to identify our business requirements, needs, expectations, and planning. It also manages the risks and opportunities of each of the Group companies.<\/p>\n

Starting with an initial development project, we identify how we want to manufacture the product and provide the service to each customer. Then, we develop strict controls, covering all the product development stages and considering any specific features.[\/text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_spacing=”top-spacing-med bottom-spacing-med”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][text]In addition, we conduct a rigorous internal audit process on each of our departments and processes to identify and correct any deficiencies while respecting the environment at all times.[\/text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][text]This exhaustive control process enables us to guarantee appropriate and reliable technical information, product quality, and compliance with customer requirements while simultaneously gaining insight into customer satisfaction and ensuring continuous improvement.[\/text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_bg_color=”bg-03″ row_spacing=”top-spacing bottom-spacing”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][text extra_padding=”txt-padding-right”]\n

Tests that lead to success<\/h2>\n

All our products are subject to tests that guarantee their quality. The tests vary according to the application of each product. Therefore, we perform different tests for vertical and horizontal applications. We also carry out physical tests to obtain further information on the characteristics of each product. The following is a small selection.[\/text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_accordion][vc_accordion_tab title=”HORIZONTAL APPLICATION”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][single_image image=”5407″ image_alignment=”txt-center”][text]\n

Abrasion resistance<\/strong>
\nThe resistance of worktop surface finishes* to scrubbing and wear and tear with abrasive utensils can become visible when the material is subject to abrasion, leading to possible adverse effects.<\/p>\n[\/text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][single_image image=”5408″ image_alignment=”txt-center”][text]\n

Ball drop impact resistance<\/strong>
\nThis test lets us determine the resistance of work surfaces and coatings* to impact.<\/p>\n[\/text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][single_image image=”5409″ image_alignment=”txt-center”][text]\n

Scratch resistance<\/strong>
\nTo determine the resistance of work surfaces* to scratching, we subject the materials to different scratching pressures using three different samples. This provides us with resistance data for each sample. The final result is obtained by calculating the average value of the three samples.<\/p>\n

*Work surfaces are horizontal surfaces on which any object commonly used in a domestic kitchen can be placed.<\/em><\/p>\n[\/text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”VERTICAL APPLICATION”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][single_image image=”5410″ image_alignment=”txt-center”][text]\n

Resistance to food products<\/strong>
\nWe use this test to measure the resistance of surface coatings to cold food products commonly used in a domestic kitchen. After completing the test, we check the surface for any changes or discolouration.<\/p>\n[\/text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][single_image image=”5411″ image_alignment=”txt-center”][text]\n

Resistance to cleaning products<\/strong>
\nThis test is used to determine the resistance of surface coatings to cleaning products. We conduct various tests to expose our products to a range of cleaning products. After completing the test, we check the surface for any signs of degradation or colour changes.<\/p>\n[\/text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][single_image image=”5412″ image_alignment=”txt-center”][text]\n

Bonding of coating to the core<\/strong>
\nThe purpose of this test is to determine the degree of bonding between the coating and core. Once the coating is detached, we assess the dragging of wood particles from the core to measure the result.<\/p>\n[\/text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”PHYSICAL TESTS”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][single_image image=”5406″ image_alignment=”txt-center”][text]\n

Resistance of colour fastness to light<\/strong>
\nWe use this test to assess the impact of light on our products for vertical application. As a result, we obtain their resistance to light without undergoing any discolouration.<\/p>\n[\/text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_accordion_tab][\/vc_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_spacing=”top-spacing bottom-spacing” el_id=”gestion-residuos”][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_row_inner row_spacing=”bottom-spacing-med”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][single_image image=”9035″ image_alignment=”txt-left”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][text extra_padding=”txt-padding-left”]\n

Waste management<\/h2>\n

Waste management is a set of actions carried out to treat waste, spanning from the moment it is generated to its eventual treatment for recovery or disposal. Waste is considered to be any material that is no longer useful after being employed to meet a certain function.<\/p>\n

There are three distinct stages that we need to complete in order to correctly manage waste:[\/text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_spacing=”bottom-spacing-med”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][ttdirectory directory_style=”directory-style-7″ carousel_columns=”3″][ttdirectory_item background=”” title=”Stage 1″]Collect all the waste resulting from our activity and separate it properly according to the material it is made of.[\/ttdirectory_item][ttdirectory_item background=”” title=”Stage 2″]Take this material to a waste classification or treatment plant.[\/ttdirectory_item][ttdirectory_item background=”” title=”Stage 3″]Treat this waste for recovery or ultimately dispose of it.[\/ttdirectory_item][\/ttdirectory][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”right” width=”1\/2″][single_image image=”9036″ image_alignment=”txt-left”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][text extra_padding=”txt-padding-right”]There are many different waste products, but industrial waste is generated from the manufacturing, transformation, utilisation, consumption, cleaning, or maintenance processes involved in the industrial activity, according to Act 22\/2011 on Waste and Contaminated Soil.<\/p>\n

With the aim of preventing this waste from ending up in natural spaces and contaminating the environment, we are going to see how we should treat waste from our products.[\/text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row bg_image_position=”50% 50%” bg_parallax=”yes” row_spacing=”top-spacing bottom-spacing” el_id=”como-reciclamos” bg_image=”9037″ el_class=”dark-parallax”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][ttdirectory carousel_columns=”3″][ttdirectory_item background=”” title=”Blue bin” media=”media-image” image=”9039″]cardboard packaging, boxes, paper, etc[\/ttdirectory_item][ttdirectory_item background=”” title=”Yellow bin” media=”media-image” image=”9038″]plastic, bubble wrap, etc.[\/ttdirectory_item][ttdirectory_item background=”” title=”Green bin” media=”media-image” image=”9040″]glass[\/ttdirectory_item][\/ttdirectory][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][text extra_padding=”txt-padding-left”]Large materials such as cabinets, doors, worktops, and units should be taken to the closest local waste facilities, ensuring that all products end up in the correct recycling process.<\/p>\n

If you have any doubts about where to deposit any waste, the Ecoembes Chatbot will inform you in which bin it goes:<\/p>\n
