Hardware is among the most important components on a window or door. Without the right hardware, the function and some performance characteristics according to EN 14351-1 are not given. The interaction between hardware and other components is also crucial.
In order to provide manufacturer of building components with a good basis for the use of high-quality hardware, ift Rosenheim has launched the ift certification scheme QM 328. The test and certification of hardware according to QM 328 also provides the manufacturer of building components with the basis for obtaining an ift certification at the level "Quality" or the RAL quality mark according to RAL-GZ 695.
Products certified and monitored according to this certification scheme meet the requirements according to RAL-GZ 695 (Windows, Facades and Doors - Quality Assurance RAL-GZ 695) and RAL-GZ 716 (Plastic Window Profile Systems - Quality Assurance RAL-GZ 716).
With QM 328, rules for interchangeability of hardware based on EN 14351-1 Annex A were also created.
