“Our UKAS accredited testing service is capable of testing to BS EN 1026 (Air permeability), BS EN1027 (Watertightness) and BS EN 12211 (Resistance to wind load) and has certainly been kept busy by window companies since it was installed last year. The test methods are applicable for CE Marking and are referenced in the product standards such as EN 14351-1 while the results of the testing will allow classification to BS6375 Part 1 in the UK.”
