For almost 90 years, Euronit has been manufacturing agricultural sheeting specifically designed for Irish farms.
Euronit’s Agribild Plus is the highest form of protective metal sheeting on the market.
It’s important to know what to look out for when buying metal sheeting for your farm.
Where to start
Grant-approved material is the highest-quality material for your animal housing needs.
Your first port of call would be the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine’s Gov.ie website, where you’ll find the s102. This sets out the minimum standards for roof cladding and side cladding.
The Department operates a no stamp-no grant policy. Every sheet of cladding material must have an identifiable indelible stamp.
Crest certification
Crest stands for Centre for Research in Engineering Surface Technology. It is a nationally approved testing laboratory, the only one in Ireland, for several Government bodies.
Among other things, it tests for corrosion properties of coated coil steel for the Irish market to relevant standards on behalf of the Department.
Pass results are a reassurance to the customer of the performance of the surface coating of the steel by way of testing using exposure equipment.
Euronit Agribild Plus is Crest certified. Be sure to ask your manufacturer/supplier if they are using Crest-certified material, as only Crest-certified material will be grant approved by the Dept.
CE mark
The letters 'CE' appear on many products that are traded on the single market in the European Economic Area.
The CE marking is required for agricultural sheeting products. It shows that the manufacturer has checked that these products meet EU quality, safety, health and environmental requirements.
ISO standards
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies. In Euronit’s case, our metal sheeting is manufactured in Athy, Co Kildare, and achieves the following standards:
ISO 9001 - this is the quality management system, which means that all our manufacturing is calibrated and signed off by the NSAI. This checks our load span tables, machines and designs and ensures they are the correct quality.
ISO 14001 - this means we don’t negatively impact or interfere with our local environment. We have full traceability from factory to farmyard.
ISO 45001 - we comply with all health and safety regulations at our factory in Athy, Co Kildare.
