The European Coil Coating Association (ECCA) can trace its origins back to 1967 and is the voice of the coil coating (prepainting) industry in Europe, with over 110 member companies. In 2014, as low quality materials began to proliferate, ECCA launched a certification system that uses the ECCA Premium® Quality and Sustainability label to guarantee material quality and sustainability, focusing especially on color consistency over time, corrosion resistance, the ability to process the material and design flexibility. The label also ensures the coated metals meet the requirements of European legislation such as REACH. Products with the ECCA Premium® label do not contain substances of very high concern.
