For every project completed,  OLTREMATERIA ®  issues a  CERTIFICATE OF PRODUCT AUTHENTICITY  which certifies the possession of a unique, original, artistic artisan work.

All of the  OLTREMATERIA ®  materials and systems are produced in laboratories which have received  ISO 9001  certification and  CE  branding.

The quality control system aims to follow the entire internal process from research to production and packaging of the final products. Our objective is that of high specialisation and continuous scientific evolution towards the most advanced forms of technical and commercial approach to applied chemistry and sustainable construction.  ECOMAT S.r.l.,  with the  OLTREMATERIA ®  brand, aspires to objectives of qualitative growth aimed at the improvement of distribution, production and managerial processes.

We hereby declare that with regards to relationships of study, design and production which exist between our production laboratories and ECOMAT S.r.l., every product or system handled by us or for us respects all of the requirements of the Certifying Body.

The OLTREMATERIA ®  system, with regards the activity of the production laboratories, is produced in full respect of the requirements of the Certifying body and regulations.

Start with the customer – find out what they want and give it to them.

The  CE brand  is a duty and obligation for producers/importers, it can be neither bought nor sold. An important role is played by the notified bodies of the member States which take part in the evaluation procedure for the conformity of any company either within or external to Europe.

F**** RATING CERTIFICATION

The “Japan Building Coating Materials Association” has certified that Ecomalta ® /Oleomalta ®  Oltremateria ® have extremely low emissions of harmful VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and do not emit Formaldehyde, and have therefore obtained   F**** (Four star) rating, the maximum possible.

ACCREDIA ANTIBACTERIAL CERTIFICATION

With  ECOPUR , the Oltremateria system has obtained  active anti-bacterial  certification from the CSA –  Accredia  accreditation institute  no. 0181 . Analyses were carried out in accordance with  ISO 22196:2001  regulation on  “Measurement of antibacterial activity of plastics and other non-porous surfaces”

ENVIRONMENTAL IONISATION CERTIFICATION

With ECOPUR, the Oltremateria system  purifies the air  under any conditions of light or darkness 24 hours a day forever; it has therefore obtained environmental ionisation certification with a value of  2000 ions/cm 3 . The certification was issued by  NCT- New Chemical Tecnology laboratories .

CERTIFIED QUALITY OF AIR

Oltremateria ®  complies with the rules relating to  VOC in Class (A+).


The OLTREMATERIA ®  system contributes to increased ratings in LEED certification.

What is LEED ® ?:  it is the most widespread standard of certification for energy and sustainability in the world, a group of criteria developed in the United States and applied in over 60 world countries for the design, construction and management of buildings which are sustainable from an environmental, social, economic and health point of view. An important standard which is voluntary, open, transparent, in continuous evolution, supported by a vast technical-scientific community and widely recognised by the market. In Italy,  LEED ®  is developed and promoted by GBC Italia, of which OLTREMATERIA ®  is supporting partner and promoter.

ADI

For ADI, design is culturally aware, the interface between the individual and collective demands of society, and supply from producers.

It intervenes in the design of products, services, visual communication, packaging, interior design and environmental design.

ISO 9001 Certification.

ECOMAT S.r.l., owner of the OLTREMATERIA ®  brand, considers it fundamental to select laboratories with which to work on the basis of standards of guarantee and traceability of its products in order to optimise service. Quality control for the OLTREMATERIA ®  system is aimed at following the entire internal process from research to production and packaging of the final products.

Our objective is that of high specialisation and continuous scientific evolution towards the most advanced forms of technical and commercial approach to applied chemistry and sustainable construction.

What is the (simplified) LCA analysis obtained by OLTREMATERIA®?

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)  is the analysis of the environmental impact and the costs linked to a product system throughout all of the phases of its life cycle, from the selection of materials to final disposal. It is carried out through an inventory of the flow of materials, resources, energy and emissions exiting and entering the product system.

The entire procedure is defined and certified by UNI EN ISO 14040 and 14040X international regulations.

UNIPOL   SAI

The OLTREMATERIA ®  system is internationally guaranteed with a product liability insurance policy.  

Certificate of Thermal Conductivity:  this provides for the improved and heterogeneous transmission and distribution of heat for underfloor heating systems.

Oltremateria ®  is a system certified fire-resistant in class  BFL-S1  in accordance to the harmonised standard EN 13813

Non-slip certificate, Dynamic friction coefficient:
0.071 for rubber soles – 0.52 for leather soles EN ISO TC/189 standard.

Resistance to lactic acid:
tests were carried out according to the provisions of UNI EN ISO regulation.

It respects the provisions of the UNI 11021:2002 regulation of 01/12/2002 “paints and varnishes – products and systems for the painting of areas with the presence of food requirements and test methods”, HACCP Law Decree 155 of 13/06/1997 and successive modifications and updates.  Our material is suitable for contact with food!

ECOLABEL  (The most important certification in the field of ecology and environmental sustainability on an international level).
We are currently awaiting ECOLABEL certification.

ECOMALTA ® /OLEOMALTA ®  by OLTREMATERIA ®  selected and chosen by Matrec EcoMaterials  Library for its environmental characteristics. MATREC is the first EcoMaterials Library dedicated to environmentally sustainable materials and their use in industrial production, architecture and design.

The OLTREMATERIA ®  website adheres to Zero Impact Web , Life Gate’s new project, which was created with the objective of reducing and compensating the emissions of carbon dioxide deriving from the use of the internet.  OLTREMATERIA ®  by ECOMAT S.r.l. supports Impatto Zero ®  (Zero Impact): the first Italian project which in 2002 formalised the aims of the Kyoto Protocol, assisting people and companies in a process of reduction and compensation of their CO 2  emissions, thus contributing to the creation and safeguarding of growing forests in Italy and throughout the world.
