Quality and certifications
Quality you can audit, lot by lot
ISO 9001:2015 and ZED certified. Every batch is tested in our own laboratory before dispatch, and every lot ships with a certificate of analysis.
Certifications and declarations
What we hold today, stated exactly.
-
ISO 9001:2015
Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015.
-
ZED certification
Zero Defect Zero Effect certification for MSMEs, the Indian scheme for quality and environmental practice in manufacturing.
-
RoHS and REACH declarations
Compliance declarations for our grades, issued on request for your approval file.
IATF 16949
Status: gap assessment scheduled. We do not claim IATF 16949 certification.
Batch genealogy from raw material to shipment
Recipes are controlled in our ERP, so a grade is made to the same formula on every run. The ERP links each batch to the raw material lots that went into it and to the shipment it left in.
Give us the lot number on your delivery and we trace it back to its recipe, its raw materials and its test results.
- ERP-controlled recipes
- Batch genealogy from raw material to shipment
- Every batch tested before dispatch
- Certificate of analysis (CoA) with every lot
Our laboratory
Testing runs in-house on the same instruments lot after lot, so results stay comparable over time.
| Instrument | What it measures | What we use it for |
|---|---|---|
| DSC | Melting and crystallisation temperatures | Confirming the polymer and its thermal behaviour |
| FT-IR | Infrared spectrum of the material | Identifying polymers, including recycled feedstock |
| MFI | Melt flow index | Flow and batch-to-batch consistency |
| UTM | Tensile and flexural strength and modulus | Mechanical conformance to the TDS |
| Izod and Charpy impact | Notched impact strength | Toughness, including impact-modified grades |
| HDT and Vicat | Heat deflection and softening temperature | Heat performance under load |
| Spectrophotometer | Colour values and delta E | Colour conformance to the approved standard |
| Glow-wire | Resistance to ignition from a glowing element | Flame-retardant and electrical grades |
Every batch is tested before dispatch. The test set for a grade follows its TDS and your specification.
Four-step control for recycled grades
Recycled PIR and PCR grades run through the same lab, ERP and QC as virgin grades, with controls that start before extrusion.
- 01
Incoming feedstock
Source segregation, a contamination screen and FT-IR polymer identification before material is accepted.
- 02
Extrusion
Twin-screw compounding with devolatilisation and recipe-locked dosing. Odour is controlled in the process.
- 03
QC and colour
MFI, density, ash, tensile, flexural, Izod, HDT and delta E on every batch.
- 04
Approval path
PPAP, conformance to your material specification and on-vehicle trials. VDA 270 odour limits are agreed per part.
Colour control with delta E
Colour is measured with a spectrophotometer against the approved standard and reported as delta E, the measured colour difference. A number replaces a judgement made by eye.
We agree the colour standard and the delta E tolerance with you before first supply, then check production batches against them.
- Spectrophotometer measurement against your approved standard
- Delta E tolerance agreed per part
- Pre-coloured compounds, so no masterbatch dosing at your press
- Delta E on every batch of recycled grades
Audit our plant
Buyers and quality engineers are welcome to audit us, before approval and after.
- 01
Send a request
Write to info@aapi.co.in with the grade or part, your audit scope and your preferred dates.
- 02
Agree the agenda
We confirm the date and prepare the records you want to see, from recipes to CoA history.
- 03
Visit MET City, Jhajjar
Our two owned plants sit on the KMP Expressway corridor, about an hour from Delhi airport.
- 04
See it running
Walk the four twin-screw lines and the laboratory, and trace a lot through the ERP from raw material to shipment.
Documents on request
Send us the grade and we send the documents your approval file needs.
-
Technical data sheet (TDS)
Typical properties of the grade, for design and material approval.
-
Safety data sheet (SDS)
Handling, storage and safety information for your plant.
-
Certificate of analysis (CoA)
Test results for the lot, sent with every lot as standard.
-
RoHS declaration
Restricted-substance compliance declaration for the grade.
REACH declaration
REACH compliance declaration for the grade.
Quality questions
Are you IATF 16949 certified?
No. Our IATF 16949 status is: gap assessment scheduled. We hold ISO 9001:2015 and ZED certification, and automotive customers are welcome to audit our process controls.
What comes with every lot?
A certificate of analysis (CoA) with the test results for that lot. Every batch is tested in our laboratory before dispatch.
Can you trace a lot back to its raw materials?
Yes. Our ERP holds the batch genealogy from raw material to shipment. Quote the lot number and we trace it.
Do you provide RoHS and REACH declarations?
Yes, on request, together with the TDS and SDS for the grade.
Do you support PPAP?
Yes. We support your approval path, including PPAP, conformance to your material specification and on-vehicle trials.
Are recycled grades controlled differently?
They use the same lab, ERP and QC as virgin grades, plus four steps of their own: feedstock screening with FT-IR, controlled extrusion with devolatilisation, batch testing including delta E, and a formal approval path.
Do you hold recycled-content certifications such as GRS or ISCC PLUS?
We do not claim them. We support your recycled-content documentation and can work to the certification scheme your programme requires.
