Details of the membership of the GRCA

Based in the UK but with international membership, The International Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete Association (GRCA) aims are to promote the use of Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete or GRC, also known as Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete or GFRC, worldwide and to encourage best practice within the GRC / GFRC industry. The Association is a prime source of information and independent advice and its publications, both technical and marketing, are highly regarded. Membership of The International GRC Association is available in a selection of grades, which are detailed below:

Full Members

Any GRC / GFRC Manufacturer displaying the GRCA "Full Member" logo has been assessed by an independent certifying body appointed by The International GRC Association (GRCA). As part of the Full Member assessment process the GRC Manufacturer must demonstrate that they have sufficient resources in plant, equipment and labour to consistently design and manufacture high quality GRC in accordance with the Full Member Regulations. The assessment will also confirm that the Full Member has quality management systems and production controls in place to comply with the requirements of the GRCA Specification, Methods of Testing and Practical Design Guide.

GRCA Full Member status is not a guarantee of quality, and specifiers and users of GRC / GFRC must satisfy themselves that the GRC manufacturing Full Member has sufficient resources in plant, equipment and labour to consistently design and manufacture high quality GRC in accordance with the requirements of the GRCA Specification, Methods of Testing and Practical Design Guide.
