Glacier Quality
Every Glacier is tested at our ISO9001 certified factory, which also shares a JISQ9100 Assurance System Certification from the aerospace industry, and requires DINplus certification before it ever reaches the rider. While carbon is a superior product to manufacture bikes with, having the DINplus certification is your assurance that you are riding the best.
DIN Plus Certification
The difference between DINplus and the "DIN Tested" mark is that the latter only documents conformity with standards. DINplus indicates to the consumer that the product not only meets the basic requirements of the standard but also has excelled beyond the requirements of the testing. The mark combines the world famous DIN collective mark with the 'plus' for the added value of the product which it serves to document. DIN marks communicate competence and inspire confidence.
The Procedure
All interested parties are invited to participate in the work of the certification committee. This ensures that the certification scheme is supported by the general approval of the specific market sector, which in turn promotes the widespread acceptance of the DINplus mark.
The certification scheme developed by DIN CERTCO, proceeding on the basis of the relevant standards, specifies quality criteria and other requirements together with the appropriate testing and inspection measures.
Competence in the specification of requirements and transparency of the procedure are prime concerns.
The DINplus mark is a certification mark, i.e. testing and assessment are conducted by third-party bodies.
Testing is carried out in accordance with the certification scheme by testing laboratories recognized by DIN CERTCO.
Assessment is undertaken by DIN CERTCO, as the certification body, and the basis of the test report.
Regular monitoring of the product is based on the specifications made in the corresponding certification scheme.
Assuming that assessment is positive, the manufacturers or their representatives receive a certificate which indicates the fulfilment of the special requirements by their product and authorizes them to use the DINplus mark.
