HTpush product is playing in a high competitive sector and very technologically demanding, like is the Construction sector in general and especially the plumbing components.
Into the plumbing sector our system fight to open space face to very big corporations with a very long market presence. They had got a recognized image by the consumers.
In this way the Standards Certifications are the utmost importance in every market because obtaining them, the product proves its functionality, durability and transmit warranty and security so its the best commercial argument that you can get it. But its not enough to get it, is very important with which certifier company you get it and in which country.
From HTP have decided to get four Standards in four different countries taking into account the international references and focus markets:
1 AENOR: Spanish Association for Standardisation and Certification.
Spanish Association, Spanish plumbing sector reference. From HTP decided to get this certification by two motivations:
Because is the national reference in Spain, our origin country. Is very important for international trade to demonstrate presence into the origin country this issue transmit confidence. So even not considering to Spain like a priority market, we considered it necessary to get this Standard.
AENOR is company with a large experience and reference not only in Spain so getting it can open the doors to other countries on the furure.
2 BHRC: Iranian State Certification, belonging to Ministry of road & urban development. We had got a good product position in the Iranian market, so is very important to continue strengthening our position in this country getting the national standard. We are in achieving process. The management of this process is make it together our national client “Falahati Trading” due to the official documents are on Persian.
