What service does WFTAO offer? The members of WFTAO deliver favourable technical assessments* of the fitness for use and continuing quality of innovative products and systems that deviate from established standard specifications. A technical assessment in the sense of WFTAO is an authoritative favourable declaration of technical fitness for an intended use of an innovative or non- standardised construction product, service or process.Saturday, 12 September 2015 www.agrement.co.za Slide 37 of 44
38
Primary objective of WFTAO is to facilitate the transfer of national products to the global marketplace through the acceptance of technical assessments delivered by its members.Saturday, 12 September 2015 www.agrement.co.za Slide 38 of 44
