Brought to you by the Australian Stainless Steel Development Association (ASSDA), the ASSDA Accreditation Scheme is designed to establish a benchmark for stainless steel fabricators to become recognised providers (ASSDA Accredited Fabricators) of a standardised level of quality.
Asset owners, specifiers and fabricators gain from the following benefits of the Accreditation Scheme:
