M. Schemme et Gw. Ehrenstein, QUALITY ASSURANCE IN THE PROCESSING OF LO NG-FIBER REINFORCED-PLASTICS - A REPORT ABOUT THIS BRANCH OF INDUSTRY, Kunststoffe, Plast Europe, 84(11), 1994, pp. 1559
No generally accepted rules are as yet existing in industry for the qu
ality assurance with components. Various test methods and company stan
dards of producers and processors are still complicating a standardize
d quality assurance with fibre reinforced plastics. The industry conce
rned often considers the DIN/ISO series 9000 as inflexible and excessi
vely formalized. The visit to sixteen companies of this industry was i
ntended to elucidate the achievements so far made and the problems sti
ll to be solved.
