TAIM

TAIM Registered Association is the one in which European manufacturers of metal ceilings have joined their forces to promote the use of metal ceilings in buildings by providing economic and technical support.

TAIM is an abbreviation of Technischer Arbeitskreis Industrieller Metalldecken- hersteller (German: technical working group of industrial manufacturers of metal ceilings). Since its foundation in 1988, it has defined  wordwide applic- able quality standards for metal ceilings and brought them to the state-of-the-art level.

TAIM quality standards for metal ceilings contain data about dimensions,
tolerances, tests and evaluation methods that  were later included in EU
Norm EN 13964 “Suspended Ceilings – Requirements and Test Methods”.

In the future, it will also be a task of the TAIM  to represent common interests of its members and of the entire branch concerning standardization and to realize the existing norms within the framework of European and international associations.

The priority of TAIM Association is to promote high-grade quality of metal ceiling systems in excess of minimal requirements given by the norms. In particular, that includes working out of supplementary rules and regulations for types of metal ceilings being not or only insufficiently covered by the existing norms.

TAIM members are obliged themselves to fulfill special TAIM quality standards and to develop them further. TAIM membership  has to be documented by a membership certificate every calendar year. The certificate enables the member company to use the TAIM label for its products identification, advertisement and promotion.

TAIM Registered Association provides general information on products and applica- tions engineering  concerning metal ceiling systems to such target groups as

- authorities, construction supervisors and other foundations;
- investors, planners, general contractors and installation companies.
