Standardization & Certification
Defining Best Practices for Plastic Repairs Worldwide
The collision repair industry is evolving rapidly, with over 50% of claim replacement parts now made from plastic. Standardization and certification are essential to ensuring quality, safety, and consistency in repairs. Plasnomic is dedicated to establishing globally recognized plastic repair standards, ensuring that every repair is OEM-compatible, enhances durability, and supports sustainability.
At Plasnomic, we recognize that plastic repair methodologies vary across regions, leading to inconsistencies in repair quality. Our goal, working with our global alliance network, is to develop a unified standard that can be adopted worldwide. This ensures that technicians follow Plasnomic-approved guidelines, use certified materials, and undergo standardized training through industry-leading bodies.
Our certification process, backed by ISO standards testing, will validate technicians, repair facilities, tools, materials, and equipment—ensuring compliance with best practices. Certified shops will gain recognition as industry leaders, increasing trust among insurers, OEMs, and customers. Certification will cover key aspects of plastic repair, including:
- Material & Tool Compatibility – Ensuring the use of Plasnomic-approved repair materials.
- Repair Techniques – Standardized processes such as plastic welding, filler-free repairs, and 3D-printed reinforcement solutions.
- Quality Assurance & Compliance – Implementing rigorous inspection protocols to verify repair integrity.
- Training Requirements – Establishing minimum competency levels for certified technicians.
Plasnomic will work closely with collision networks, OEMs, and regulators to ensure global recognition of our certification program. By aligning plastic repair standards with industry benchmarks, we will eliminate repair inconsistencies, improve repair quality, and enhance vehicle safety.
Ultimately, standardization and certification will drive greater adoption of plastic repair, reducing unnecessary part replacements, lowering repair costs, and supporting a circular economy.
