Quality & compliance documentation · Building materials manufacturing
Keep every product certification current.
Building products live or die by their certs, and a lapsed one means the product can't be specced. A code cycle triggers recertification with the clock already running.
The reality
Code compliance is a certificate problem.
Each product carries a stack of test reports tied to specific ASTM methods and code editions, and each has an expiry. A new IBC or IRC cycle, a formulation change, or a lab re-test deadline can quietly invalidate a listing — and the first sign is often a distributor asking for a current cert that's already expired.
The operator owns certification end to end. It tracks every test report and listing against code cycles and expiry dates, schedules recertification testing, files results, issues the updated cert, and pushes it to the channel so products stay code-compliant and specifiable.

Recert · ASTM E84
testing- Lab test scheduled
- Results received — pass
- Filing to product record
02Schedule and file
Books the recertification test with the lab, receives the results, and files them against the product record.
Cert · ESR 4412 v2
issued- Updated cert generated
- Old version superseded
- Pushing to channel and spec portal
03Issue and distribute
Issues the updated certificate and pushes it to the channel so distributors and specifiers have the current version.
