AR Racking Chile anticipates the market and obtains certification that endorses compliance with rack regulations in the face of seismic events

• First company in Chile to certify compliance with Chilean Standard NCh 3703 for the design of industrial storage systems.

AR Racking is pleased to announce that it has obtained the Certificate of Suitability, officially attesting to full compliance with Chilean Standard NCh 3703, the country’s benchmark for structural design of industrial storage systems..

Awarded by the laboratorio DICAT-LABGEO from Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción, this certification positions AR Racking Chile as the first company in its sector that reinforces its commitment to rack structural safety in the country.

For logistics managers, warehouse supervisors and operations directors, the certification offers a decisive advantage: the peace of mind that comes from using storage systems proven to be safe. With this validation, customers can optimise their logistics infrastructure while minimising structural risks, safeguarding personnel and inventory, and ensuring continuity of operations in any seismic event.

The Chilean Standard NCh 3703 sets rigorous structural design criteria specific to Chile, a country known for its high seismic activity. It is important to note that NCh 3703 is not a seismic-design standard; it regulates the structural requirements of storage systems, whereas seismic design of structures in Chile is governed by NCh 2369. By complying with this standard, AR Racking assures its customers that each installation has the appropriate strength and stability conditions required to face these challenges with full confidence.

“This milestone confirms our innovative leadership in advanced logistics solutions,” says Josué González, General Manager of AR Racking Chile. “It provides operational peace of mind, helps our customers secure better insurance coverage, and marks a significant regulatory advance by streamlining technical approvals for logistics projects. Our commitment is to stay one step ahead, delivering effective solutions fully adapted to the demands of the Chilean market.”
