BBA offers sliding door PAS 23/4 test
The British Board of Agrement has announced that it can now offer security testing of sliding doors to the requirements of Secured by Design.
"We can justifiably claim to be No 1 in approvals in this sector" says Chief Executive Greg Cooper "and we have made clear our commitment to retain this position by a substantial investment in equipment to test profiles and finished windows and doors to the new European Standards now coming through (EN 12608 for profiles and prEN 14351-1 for window and doorsets)".
"This is not simply an intention to invest, we have spent the money and now have the equipment in position and ready to go" Included in the array of test equipment is the Atlas Xenon Tester, for accelerated weathering testing - unique to the UK in the field of fenestration - as well as a suite of equipment to test thermal and other properties.
The BBA also expects increased interest in its services related to British Fenestration Ratings Council gradings.
The BBA holds both BFRC gongs - Approved Simulators and Approved Independent Agency - and is the agency of choice for 80% of the window firm ratings currently listed on the BFRC website.
Information on the availability and costs of testing is available from the BBA Sales and Marketing Team. Request a free brochure from British Board of Agrement ...
