Their task is to

• establish quality criteria designed to improve protection against instances of flooding and ensure that technical flood-protection systems and their installation are of a high standard.

In this respect, they aim to recognise the quality of products and services with the association's quality seal, drawing up a statute of quality and ensuring that this is adhered to by those holding the seal.

Holders of the quality seal are required to identify only those systems and/or services whose quality has been assured with the seal.

Finally, the association aims to improve and secure the situation of manufacturers, their sales partners and the installation firms by allowing smaller firms to receive contracts without first applying to a larger corporation, in line with European competition regulations.
