Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSX-V:GMG, OTCQX:GMGMF) announced that it has been certified as a Verified Graphene Producer by the Advanced Carbons Council. 

The certification is part of the council’s Verified Graphene Producer program, which involves third-party validation of both the graphene material and its production process.

The process includes on-site inspections of manufacturing facilities and testing through independent laboratories to confirm the material’s origin and characteristics. The program follows established international standards for graphene classification and measurement.

In addition to the certification, the company reported that it has passed a recent ISO 9001:2015 quality audit covering its manufacturing, distribution, and technical support operations. The ISO 9001 standard is widely used to assess quality management systems across industries.

Craig Nicol, GMG’s CEO, said the verification places the company among a limited number of globally recognized graphene producers.

“Verification by the Advanced Carbon Council as one of five currently verified global graphene producers is another proof of the high quality of our graphene and why our graphene products function at such a world leading standard,” Nicol said.

He added that the successful quality system audit demonstrates the company’s ability to translate its materials into commercially viable products.

Jack Perkowski, chairman and non-executive director, described the third-party validation as an important milestone for the company’s operations in advanced materials.

“Congratulations to the team on getting this third-party verification on the graphene and quality management system — a real table stake when it comes to producing carbon nano material products,” Perkowski said.

The certification was also welcomed by the council. Terrance Barkan, executive director of the Advanced Carbons Council, said the program provides independent assurance to stakeholders evaluating graphene suppliers.

“We are proud to count Graphene Manufacturing Group as the newest member of a select group of graphene companies to have passed a rigorous in-person inspection of their facilities and a thorough examination of their graphene material,” Barkan said.

He noted that third-party validation can be a valuable tool for customers and investors when assessing producers.
