QUASCAP Certification: Japanese Coating Standards for MED Profiles

The QUASCAP Certification (Quality Assurance System for Coating of Aluminum Profiles) is an elite Japanese quality mark managed by the Japan Aluminum Federation (JAF). This certification is designed specifically to verify the superior quality and long-term durability of surface treatments - including both anodizing and organic coatings - applied to architectural aluminum extrusions. Unlike general global standards, QUASCAP adheres to the rigorous JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards), focusing on the chemical resistance, color retention, and structural adhesion of the coating film under the unique environmental stressors of the Japanese archipelago.

What is the QUASCAP Certification?

QUASCAP stands for the Quality Assurance System for Coating of Aluminum Profiles. It is a specialized certification framework unique to Japan that audits the entire surface treatment process - from the chemical pretreatment of the aluminum to the final application of the coating. Managed by industry experts in Japan, it ensures that architectural profiles comply with JIS H 8602 and other relevant standards. It specifically measures the thickness, hardness, and weatherability of the finish, ensuring it can withstand Japan’s intense UV exposure and maritime climates.

Why does CIVRO conduct this certification for MED profiles?

Japan is arguably the world’s most detail-oriented market when it comes to material science. CIVRO pursued the QUASCAP certification for our MED profiles to provide an objective guarantee of surface longevity. While many profiles look identical when new, QUASCAP proves that the MED series will not peel, chalk, or fade over decades of use. This certification is our "key" to the Japanese architectural market, proving to local stakeholders that our high-end window and door systems are not just designed with European aesthetics, but are chemically and physically engineered to survive the toughest East Asian climates.
