Quality

We are substrate specialists with decades of experience and one of the leading German producers of growing media. How does it work?

“Our primary goal is to offer safe products for professional horticulture in consistently high quality and to deliver them reliably and flexibly when they are needed.
We listen at ground level, ensure that formulations are developed according to your wishes and guarantee good, fast service in order processing and handling.
In this context, Brill cooperates with the German Federal Foundation for the Environment and other companies from the region to develop a test grid for production of peat substitutes with high crop safety for commercial horticulture.”

Our quality assurance

Our quality management under DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 has monitored and regulated all processes, measures and controls continuously since 2004. All growing media are RAL quality assured. This enables us to guarantee substrates of homogeneous, consistent quality that meet the requirements of modern horticulture. In close cooperation with science and research, new or further product developments are tested and secured in different phases. Only when all test evaluations come out positive does the practical phase begin. This is where a substrate must prove itself and function reliably. Only after this endurance test does a new growing medium get the green light. We are certified by GG-Zert e.V.

Neutral (external) tests

“In addition, neutral external organisations and laboratories regularly test our growing media, gardening products and various raw materials.
In Germany, the Gütegemeinschaft Substrate e.V. (Quality Association for Substrates) checks whether the RAL quality criteria are met. This is done in France by AFAÏA.
Control Union Certifications Germany GmbH checks the ingredients and certifies our organic substrates according to the criteria of EU Regulation 834/2007, Annex I.
The testing laboratory of LUFA Nordwest continuously analyses chemical, physical and biological properties of substrates and raw materials for us.
Our TerraBRILL is the only universal substrate on the German market that is currently both RAL and DLG quality assured.”
