About Us | Quality

Highland has a reputation for delivering quality service - adhering to the international standards ISO 1461:1999 (Hot dip galvanizing) and BS EN 13438:2005 (Polyester powder coating).

Quality is critical to our customers needs and to make sure these needs are met Highland have a quality director who oversees testing and implements improvements for both plants. Highland employs stringent test regimes to ensure the service we provide meets the need of our customers.

All galvanizing is inspected to ensure that the coverage and thickness meets with ISO 1461 and that any blemishes are removed prior to the products being released for pick up or transportation. A test panel is included with every powder coating job. This panel is then tested for colour, thickness, adhesion, pressure and surface elasticity. As well as this both galvanizing and powder coating pre-treatments are monitored and tested to ensure they provide the ideal base for our coatings.
