CARES | EmiratesGBC

CARES is an independent, not-for-profit certification body, established in 1983 to provide confidence to the users, purchasers and specifiers of constructional steels through a regime of regulation, testing and inspection. It operates for the benefit of the construction industry offering certification schemes for companies that produce materials, components or offer services, primarily to the reinforced concrete industry. Clients can specify CARES approved companies and products with confidence that they will comply with the relevant product or system standards and without the need for verification testing by the purchaser or contractor.

CARES supports the principles of co-operation and co-ordination with organisations involved with International Certification and contributes to the activities of professional bodies, trade associations and standards making bodies, both national and international.

CARES is committed to the principles of sustainable development, including inclusivity, integrity and transparency, and shall actively promote those principles through the effective implementation of the CARES Sustainable Constructional Steel – SCS Scheme which is operated as UKAS accredited and in accordance with BS 8902.

CARES fully applies the stringent requirements necessary for organisations carrying out third party certification and accept the value of them to the operation of this organisation
