Lloyd´s certificate confirms MED quality of EUROFORM^® laminate.

The primary requirements for the construction of the interior of ships are design, design variety, the quality of the used materials, weight and fire protection. EGGER is able to satisfy all of these preconditions with EUROFORM^® laminate MED. MED stands for Marine Equipment Directive. This provision includes three certificates:

• EC Certificate of conformity.
• EC Type Examination Certificate. 
• Certificate of fire approval

All of these three certificates are available from Lloyd’s register for EGGER EUROFORM^® laminates MED. An EU conformity declaration approves the conformity with the Marine Equipment Directive, issued by the Council of the European Union. The ships steering wheel [wheelmark] as a product mark gives the manufacturer a clear indication as to the conformity of the laminate.
