RAISING PROFESSIONALISM IN THE READY MIXED CONCRETE INDUSTRY THROUGH THE CERTIFICATION OF PRODUCTION FACILITIES THAT COMPLY WITH INDUSTRY STANDARDS.

Verification of Plants and Approved Inspectors

General Information

Plant and Truck Certification Documents

The inspection of the production facility must be documented using the NRMCA Plant Certification Checklist. This checklist is used exclusively to request certification of production facilities through NRMCA.

Inspectors are required to use the NRMCA Plant Certification Electronic Checklist (version 03.20.20) when conducting inspections and submitting certification requests. This document is provided only to inspectors approved to perform inspections under NRMCA’s certification program.

If you are an NRMCA-approved inspector and need the current version of the Checklist, email [email protected]

The inspection of the delivery fleet should be documented on the Delivery Fleet Inspection Form.
The detailed requirements for the delivery fleet are addressed in Section 5 of the Checklist. This inspection can be conducted by approved inspectors or by assigned company personnel.

Plant and Truck Payment Form
The form includes the fee schedule and can be used to provide payment amounts and information when requesting certification.

Plant Inspector Guide
This guide covers a detailed discussion of the requirements addressed in the Plant Certification Checklist and is intended to provide additional guidance to inspectors and concrete producers seeking certification for their production facilities. The checklist language is included for the context of the discussion of each requirement. For persons interested in learning more about the plant certification program and the general industry standards governing ready mixed concrete production facilities, this guide is a useful reference.
