ANPI and Quality2Build
ANPI, as a promoter of the use of certified products to ensure better prevention, fully supports the Quality2Build initiative. Working in the field of prevention, we know that anticipating risks is always the best solution. BENOR-ATG certificates for fire doors, issued by ANPI, are already included, and soon all products covered by BOSEC and INCERT certifications will also be included.
