Selling PVC tarpaulin to North America? Two certifications can make or break your deal.
What happens without certification?
❌ Customs detention at US ports
❌ Project rejected by fire marshals
❌ Product liability lawsuits
❌ Lost customer — forever
UL Certification:
UL 723 (Surface Burning Characteristics)
Required for construction tarps, warehouse covers
Testing takes 4-6 weeks — cheap suppliers skip it
CE Marking:
EN 13501 fire classification (M1/M2/M3)
REACH compliance
Need Declaration of Performance (DoP)
Certification Checklist:
✅ UL 723 test report
✅ CE marking + DoP
✅ Third-party lab report (SGS/TÜV/Intertek)
✅ ISO 9001 factory audit
✅ MSDS + REACH statement
💡 A 10% cheaper supplier without certifications could cost you 100% of the contract.
