Testing according to PAS 24 is a prerequisite for windows and doors to be used in the UK market.
PAS 24 consists of a specified test sequence for windows and doorsets with, among other things, manipulation tests on hardware and infillings, mechanical loading tests on hardware, manual cutting tests on infillings and dynamic loads from pendulum (soft body and hard body impact tests).
Test specimens are selected in cooperation with approved test or certification bodies in Great Britain and subjected to the standardized test sequences. The results can then be used on the British market.
