What is the NPCA Plant Certification Program?
The NPCA Plant Certification Program is an exciting way for precast and prestressed concrete plants to demonstrate their commitment to production of high-quality products. The basis of this voluntary certification program is the Quality Control Manual for Precast and Prestressed Concrete Plants (NPCA Quality Control Manual) published by NPCA. The program covers all aspects of a precast operation necessary for quality assurance during the production of high-quality precast or prestressed concrete products. Compliance with the Quality Control Manual is verified through annual inspections of certified plants. The program certifies that plants meeting the requirements set forth in the NPCA Quality Control Manual are capable of producing high-quality products. The program does not certify products themselves.
