:: The CERIC (Research and Testing Centre for the Chimney and Flue Industry) is a research laboratory specifically in the field of flue gas evacuation.

:: CERIC works closely with the POUJOULAT group in the fields of quality control and the continued product Research and Development programme.

:: Possessing a specialised array testing equipment, CERIC is able to recreate the most extreme operating conditions for flues. There is no European equivalent for Chimney Flue Research and Development.

:: The CERIC laboratory operates independently and has the power to stop any non-conforming production, thus ensuring that all the products in the market comply with the specifications agreed with the manufacturers.

:: From its birth in 1990 CERIC has established a rigorous system of quality control. Today this commitment is pursued through internal audits and by a continuous training programme.

:: For example CERIC played an important role in achieving ISO 9002 recognition for POUJOULAT and its subsidiaries.

:: Today CERIC enjoys the unique position of being the only French laboratory to obtain COFRAC accreditation for the totality of tests relative to metal chimney flues.
