Kashmir Oriental Carpet Enterprises: Certification

All our carpets come with various 'Certificates Of Authenticity', guarantee documents (all documents certified by Government of India) and the prestigious 'Rug Assure' certificate relating to the quality of the carpets (the knots of the carpet, the make of the carpet, fibers, dyes, etc. that have been used) along with your purchased carpet. These documents serve as the warranty that we intend to offer you for the purchase that you have done from us and we stand guaranteed for the quality of our products during its entire lifespan. The 'Rug Assure' certificate is also essential for your insurance purposes and also for appraisals that are conducted by art collectors from time to time.

The following Frequently Asked Questions will clarify the requirement of these certifications:

1. What is Rug Assure?

Rug Assure is a Certificate of Quality that is issued by our company - Kashmir Oriental Carpet Enterprises that guarantees the product sold by us as authentic and provides a lifelong assurance to you towards the quality and genuineness of the product bought by you.

2. How is Rug Assure Certificate issued?

All our products go through a rigorous quality-check program undertaken by our Quality Control Management Department whereby each and every carpet (rug) that is manufactured in our handlooms goes through a meticulous physical inspection for any possible manufacturing defects, size variations, flaws in designs or color-matching, etc. After an extensive exercise of this procedure our carpets are finally endorsed with the unique and most respected - Rug Assure Certificate of Quality that vouches for the authenticity of the carpet for its entire lifetime.

3. What is the importance of Rug Assure?

In a highly unorganized cottage industry like carpet weaving where the only guarantees offered to the buyer is the 'trusted word' as spoken by the carpet-seller, we have initiated the unique principle of selling all our carpets only with a genuine Rug Assure Certificate that stands for a promise of guarantee and assurance for all our products. Each RugAssure Certificate carries a stamp of approval from our RugAssure department and verifies all the important yardsticks of quality by which the carpet weaving technique is universally adjudged. Your RugAssure Certificate will inform you about these important points of your carpet purchase:
