CNEP, an example of the transfer of scientific knowledge

The provision of research tools, in this case in physico-chemistry and photochemistry, to the chemical industry, if it can be done in a useful way by conventional university ways, can also be done through research centers such as CNEP whose only concern is the resolution of the industrial problem

CNEP explains oxobiodegradation

Information on materials with "acquired biodegradability" more conveniently called "oxo-biodegradable" is generally not offered in an acceptable form and these materials have gradually acquired a bad reputation, sometimes justified by errors in the development of these materials.

Clermont-Ferrand highlights materials

The work of this research unit is authoritative and attracts more and more processors and manufacturers who face problems of aging of the polymers they use. This is the case for the automotive or electrical industry, sports equipment and artists for the conservation of their works!

Specialized in the study and durability of polymer materials, CNEP is 30 years old

Created thirty years ago, on the initiative of Professor Jacques Lemaire, the CNEP now has the world's largest groups among its “customers”, an expert in the physico-chemical analysis of phenomena of degradation.

La certification ISO 9001 - 2015

L'ISO 9001:2015 spécifie les exigences relatives au système de management de la qualité lorsqu'un organisme:

a) doit démontrer son aptitude à fournir constamment des produits et des services conformes aux exigences des clients et aux exigences légales et réglementaires applicables, et

b) vise à accroître la satisfaction de ses clients par l'application efficace du système, y compris les processus pour l'amélioration du système et l'assurance de la conformité aux exigences des clients et aux exigences légales et réglementaires applicables.

Toutes les exigences de l'ISO 9001:2015 sont génériques et prévues pour s'appliquer à tout organisme, quels que soient son type ou sa taille, ou les produits et services qu'il fournit.

Obtenir la certification ISO 9001:2015, c’est s’appuyer sur 8 principes de management :
• l’orientation client ;
• l’implication du personnel ;
• l’approche processus ;
• l’amélioration continue ;
• la gestion par approche système ;
• le leadership ;
• la prise de décision fondée sur des preuves ;
• le management des relations avec les parties intéressées.
