Osborn is AEO certified
Osborn has the status of "Authorised Economic Operator (AEO)". This is a standard adopted at European level with the aim of enabling a consistently secure international supply chain. The prerequisites for certification as an "Authorised Economic Operator" are the fulfilment of specific criteria defined by customs in terms of reliability, solvency, compliance with legal regulations and fulfilment of security standards.
The holder of the certification is considered particularly reliable and receives easier access to customs simplifications, accelerated authorisation procedures and facilitation of security-related customs controls. The certificate is valid in all EU member states. Our customers benefit from this, because our goods are usually given priority and cleared quickly during inspections. Shipping delays due to controls can thus be minimised considerably.

The Osborn production sites in Burgwald and Romania are members of the international organisation oSa (Organisation for the Safety of Abrasives). The leading manufacturers of quality abrasives are organised in the oSa. They are committed to compliance with quality and safety standards and recognise the EN standards 12413, 13236 and 13743 as binding. Only oSa members are allowed to apply the protected sign of the oSa trademark to their products.
The use of the oSa trademark also means that the manufacturer makes further assurances: among other things, the complete manufacturing process for grinding tools is monitored and the company must have a certified quality management system in place. In addition, ongoing production controls must be carried out according to EN standards and the products must be traceable to the manufacturer.
