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.

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.

Testing of Respirators

EU type test, certification and tests for quality assurance

Certification – Decorative Wall Covering – EN 15102

Bonding the glazing based on ETAG 002 is one of the most important steps in the manufacture of an SSG facade. An SSG facade is subject to certification as per ETAG 002; a European Technical Approval (ETA) serves as the basis for this. The facade manufacturer is responsible for this.

Certification – Structural Sealant Glazing Systems / SG adhesive – ETAG 002

As a notified body (Notified Body 0757), ift Rosenheim carries out initial tests, monitoring and certification services for structural sealant glazing systems or adhesive for the use in structural sealant glazing systems as per ETAG 002.

Certification – Nordic Certified Scantlings (NCS)

Certification of laminated profiles for market access in Scandinavia

Expert Opinion

Defects can occur during planning, manufacture and installation, as a result of impacts during the period of use or simply due to the ravages of time, which can then trigger structural damage. It is not uncommon for disputes to arise as a result, which make the involvement of a specialised expert advisable.
