LINE OF ACTIVITY
Corporate technical conditions
The union acts in interests of serious dry mortars manufacturers, for which quality of products, decency in relations with colleagues and customers are the main working principles. The UDMM creates conditions for replacement low-grade dry mixes, which destroy the trust of consumers to high-quality dry mortars made in Russia. Since there aren't modern Russian state standards for dry building mixes, the Test Center of SPbGASU, accredited by Gosstroy RF, carries out the development of corporate technical conditions, corresponding international standards DIN and EN. Products of all UDMM members correspond to these technical conditions. That's why the trefoil symbol means quality and a lot of consumers trust the products with this mark.
Testing program
The Union acts as the initiator of the voluntary testing program for dry mixes presented on Russian market. Test Center of SPbGASU carries out the test and gives to the company the official conclusion and right (in case of positive conclusion) to draw the quality mark "Checked by UDMM" on packing. Thus, at present time any manufacturer of high quality dry mixes can submit the application for carrying out the control tests and receive additional serious argument in struggle for consumers.
"No" to low-grade building mixes, "yes" to high quality dry mixes!
Popularization of modified dry mixes as modern and perspective finishing and recovery materials is one of the main goals of the UDMM. Annual turnover of low-grade building mixtures is more than 2.5 million tons, in money equivalent it makes about 1.5 billion US dollars. This money potentially belongs to dry mortar a manufactures, that's why the UDMM started to struggle against low-grade mixes. The Union developed the informational campaign in press which goal is to promote dry mixes. At this time the UDMM is developing the program "Yes to dry building mixes". This program should inform the builders and customers about the advantages of using dry building mixtures and make dry mortar manufacturing and selling more active.
