Quality control: incoming and outgoing tests for the utmost reliability

Product quality is an essential value for Metalservice. For this reason, our in-house laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art instruments and managed by highly qualified personnel.

Chemical and mechanical tests are carried out both on incoming raw materials, to verify compliance with the required standards, and on outgoing finished products, to ensure the excellence of the processing performed. Every stage is subjected to rigorous checks, following established procedures.

Upon the customer’s request, quality certificates are issued directly by our laboratory.

Certifications

dnv iso certification
Metalservice SpA was the first company in the Gabrielli Group to obtain ISO 9001 certification in 1997. Today, with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, it reaffirms its commitment to quality, environmental protection, and workplace safety, ensuring processes focused on continuous improvement.
The Cosivi Division of Metalservice can supply flat rolled structural steels (qualified at their origin by the manufacturer/steel mill) which are ready for subsequent metalwork processing. Supplies comply with the requirements of the 2018 Technical Standards for Constructions, as well as being consistent with the legislative framework defined by the Ministerial Decree of 17 January 2018 and the favourable opinion of the Central Technical Service of the Supreme Council responsible for overseeing public works. This is to satisfy that part of the market which is increasingly requiring ready-to-use semi-processed steel.
