Research shows that a significant number of manufacturers are still not fully compliant with the requirements of the construction products regulations (CPR) which made CE Marking of construction products a legal requirement as of July 2013.
There remains to be a large amount of uncertainty throughout the industry as to what the minimum standards are that manufacturers must meet in order to achieve compliance.
As a Notified Testing Laboratory, Wintech Engineering Ltd specialise in the testing of Windows and Doors against the requirements of BS EN 14351-1:2006 - Windows and Doors, product standard.
The results of these tests carried out at Wintech can then be used to demonstrate compliance for gaining and maintaining your CE Mark. These tests include:
- Air permeability - EN 1026
