They validate our processes, strengthen customer trust, and align our products with global market requirements. By adhering to these trusted standards, AP Rubber Group not only guarantees superior product performance but also reinforces our role as a responsible partner in sustainable manufacturing.

ISO 9001:2015

Quality management

ISO 9001:2015 certifies the quality management system behind every batch we ship: how a specification is set, how a process is controlled, and how a nonconformity is caught and corrected. It is the credential that says our consistency is audited rather than asserted, and it is renewed on a three-year certification cycle with surveillance audits in between.

Certificate number: 142520/C/0001/UK/En
Issued by: URS (United Registrar of Systems)
Accreditation: UKAS 0043
Valid until: 4 January 2029
Certified scope: Recovery of rubber powder and steel wire by recycling of end-of-life TBR tyres

ISO 14001:2015

Environmental management

ISO 14001:2015 certifies the environmental management system: how we account for resource use, emissions and waste across the plant, and how each is measured and improved. For a business whose product is recovered material, an audited environmental system is the difference between a sustainability claim and a sustainability record.

Certificate number: 142520/A/0001/UK/En
Issued by: URS (United Registrar of Systems)
Accreditation: UKAS 0043
Valid until: 1 December 2028
Certified scope: Recovery of rubber powder and steel wire by recycling of end-of-life TBR tyres

ISO 45001:2018

Occupational health & safety

ISO 45001:2018 certifies the occupational health and safety management system: hazard identification, risk control and worker consultation across shredding, granulation and milling. It is audited against the same international standard a buyer's own EHS function is likely to be held to.

Certificate number: 142520/B/0001/UK/En
Issued by: URS (United Registrar of Systems)
Accreditation: UKAS 0043
Valid until: 1 December 2028
Certified scope: Recovery of rubber powder and steel wire by recycling of end-of-life TBR tyres

Material compliance

The certifications above audit how we work. These two are about the material itself: what it contains, and which regulations it satisfies. Neither is a certificate — one is a declaration of conformity, the other an independent laboratory test report — so both are set out here in full rather than shown as a document.

REACH

EU chemical compliance

Compliant with EU Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006

Our recycled rubber is compliant with REACH, the European Union regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals. Because the material is recovered from end-of-life tyres rather than compounded from new chemistry, its constituents are already-registered substances, and it carries no Substance of Very High Concern above the notification threshold.

What it covers

Registration of constituent substances
Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)
Annex XVII restricted substances
Safety data sheet obligations

Evidence: Declaration of conformity

RoHS

Restricted hazardous substances

Passes all ten restricted substances

Our crumb rubber has been tested by an independent laboratory against EU Directive 2011/65/EU as amended by (EU) 2015/863 — RoHS 3, the full ten-substance list — and passes on every one. Testing was carried out to IEC 62321 by XRF and GC-MS. The four heavy metals and both flame-retardant groups returned not detected, and every result sits inside the permitted limit.

What it covers

Lead, cadmium, mercury and hexavalent chromium
Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE)
DEHP, BBP, DBP and DIBP phthalates

Evidence: Independent laboratory test report
Test method: IEC 62321 (XRF and GC-MS)
Reference: Report 1587/N/2026-27
Tested: 22 April 2026

Buyers who need the full declaration or the laboratory report for their own compliance file can request a copy. Tell us which document and which grade, and we will send the current issue.

Did You Know?

Rubber recycling helps conserve natural resources, reduce landfill waste, and cut carbon emissions. By reusing rubber, we extend its lifecycle and create eco-friendly products, promoting a circular economy.
