Simple authenticity check of ift certificates

In times of fake news and the manifold digital possibilities to easily falsify documents, planners, builders and trade are rightly becoming more and more critical. That is why ift Rosenheim is now supporting its customers with a new service. For all new tests, manufacturers of building materials and building elements also receive the ift-tested mark free of charge for free use with the test result. With this "proof of authenticity", manufacturers create confidence among planners, dealers, tendering authorities and end customers.

In the media and also in our personal environment, we all regularly experience how often data and documents are falsified and manipulated. Therefore, trust in information is generally dwindling, but at the same time people's competence in evaluating information and its sources is also increasing. Of course, the building sector is not exempt from this. Therefore, ift Rosenheim has developed a procedure with which every buyer of building materials, building elements and personal protective equipment (FFP2 masks, etc.) can verify the authenticity of ift certificates and test reports. The ift-tested mark shows that one or more properties of a product have been tested and evaluated by ift Rosenheim. Planners, dealers, tendering authorities and end users can thus be sure that the products bearing the mark have been tested independently, competently and in accordance with current standards by an internationally renowned testing institute.

 

The ift-tested mark verifies that

  • Products advertised with an ift-geprüft mark have been tested for one or more properties by ift Rosenheim,
  • the tested product properties stated in the ift certificate have been determined in conformity with the standard,
  • the listed documents and evidence have undergone an authenticity check and are therefore reliable.

Via a QR code scan or entering the customer ID on the website www.ift-geprueft.de, the corresponding manufacturer is displayed if it has a sign.
