Control Tests and
Quality
During each production phase, various quality tests are carried out in order to guarantee production of articles according regulations in force and main international quality protocols relating to the non-stick sector, such as the English BSI, French, German regulations as well as specific tests asked by certain markets.

UNI EN ISO
9001:2015
RIVER is ISO 9001 / UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 certified for the production of non-stick coated aluminum cookware, households and part.
Cross-cut
Test
It allows to measure the adhesion of non-stick coatings to an aluminum surface with a grid incision on coated surface. The test can be carried out either on discs or on finished products, for both roller coated or spay coated coatings.
Abrasion
Test
This test is carried out to check the resistance to abrasion due the stressed use of the non-stick part. The abrasive part is 3M Scotch Brite pad.
LGA Abrasion
Test
This test is carried out to check the resistance to abrasion due the stressed use of the non-stick part. The abrasive part is a mixture of corundum sand, stainless steel bearings and water.
Corrosion
Test
Non-stick coated cookware is exposed to boiling salty water and vapors for long periods of time. This allows evaluations about coating’ resistance to long-term cyclical exposure to boiling salted water and steam.
Non-stick
Test
Non-stick test monitors the coating’ non-stick quality. It is carried out by pouring milk inside the cooking part, and bringing it to maximum temperature until it burns out. By using a nylon or wood tool, burn milk slip away.
Dishwasher Machine
Test
Through a series of high-temperature cycles, with aggressive chemicals contained in detergents, and to high temperature steam during the drying process, non-stick resistant test is carried out.
