Test – Stick Constructions and Infill Supports

The resistance to positive wind pressure, negative wind pressure and torsion from dead load of stick constructions on curtain wall profiles is tested in a bending test according to DIN EN 16758. In combination with this, the breaking load of supports for infill supports such as glass supports is determined according to DIN EN 17146.

Test – Metal Profiles with Thermal Barrier – DIN EN 14024

Determining the effects of transverse tension and shear forces under different temperature conditions before and after ageing processes. Special test methods for the suitability of plastic web materials.

Certification – ift FEM – QM 339

Bei der Berechnung von Wärmedurchgangskoeffizienten darf der Hersteller Eigenschaften, deren Ermittlung Aufgabe einer notifizierten Prüfstelle ist, mit Hilfe von tabellarischen Werten oder Berechnungen eigenverantwortlich ermitteln. Die Grundlage für die Ermittlung der Eigenschaften muss jedoch von der selben notifizierten Stelle überprüft werden.

Certification – Windows + External Pedestrian Doorsets + Curtain Walls – QM 320 SG

Licenser are among the think tanks of new window and external pedestrian doorset designs. However, in addition to the technical basics, formal aspects of CE marking such as specifications for factory production control must also be observed.

Certification – Sealants for Glazing – QM 322

This certification scheme describes the ift certification and monitoring in the area not regulated by the building authorities for proof of conformity for sealants. The certified products may be labelled with the "ift-certified" mark.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)

For products subject to CE marking, a statement on possible indoor air-relevant emissions will be required in future. The ift certification scheme QM 359 examines products with regard to their VOC emissions.

ift-Model EPDs

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) make statements about the environmental impact of a product, such as energy and water consumption or the resulting global warming potential. These documents essentially serve as proof for building certification. This means that if buildings are certified according to sustainability systems such as DGNB,…

Certification – Occupational health and safety management systems DIN EN ISO 45001

DIN EN ISO 45001 ensures more safety and health at work.

Life Cycle Assessment

Life cycle assessment is used to determine the environmental impacts of products and services in order to determine environmentally relevant influencing factors over the entire life cycle.
