| Welded-frame casement window, full performance set | 28 items tested. All tested items met the standard and the declared quality requirements. | Submitted sample: aluminium external window, casement on a sliding pivot, insulating glass. |
| Wind load, watertightness, airtightness, operating force and locking force | Wind load Grade 9 with P3 = 5.0 kPa; watertightness Grade 4 with delta P = 400 Pa; airtightness Grade 8 with q1 = 0.0 and q2 = 0.2; operating force Grade 4 with Fh = 37 N; locking device force Grade 5 with Ms1 = 1.5 N.m; residual deformation under vertical load 2.2 mm. | Submitted sample: aluminium external window, casement on a sliding pivot, insulating glass. |
| Dimensional deviation and assembly quality | Window width -1.0 mm and height +0.5 mm against a tolerance of plus or minus 1.5 mm; diagonal difference 1.0 mm against a limit of not more than 2.5 mm. Sealing, fastening, hardware operation and bimetallic corrosion protection all met the requirements. | Submitted sample: aluminium external window, casement on a sliding pivot, insulating glass. |
| Aluminium profile base material, composition and properties | 13 items tested. Apart from two hardness items that were measured without a pass or fail judgement, all items met the standard requirements. | Submitted profile: 6060-T66 aluminium building profile (base material). |
| Tensile strength, proof strength and elongation | Rm 220 N/mm2 against a requirement of at least 215 N/mm2; Rp0.2 191 N/mm2 against a requirement of at least 160 N/mm2; A50mm 11.5% against a requirement of at least 6%. | Submitted profile: 6060-T66 aluminium building profile (base material). |
| Aluminium profile chemical composition | Mg 0.51%, Si 0.38%, Fe 0.13%, Cu 0.03%, Zn 0.03%; all within specification. | Submitted profile: 6060-T66 aluminium building profile (base material). |
| Powder coating process control and colour consistency | Coating hardness, adhesion and weather resistance are controlled to an external facade standard; each order is coated in one batch so that the colour is even across the window. | Internal process control, not a third-party test report. |
| Pre-dispatch check of sealing, operation and appearance | Each window is checked for sealing, operation and appearance before dispatch. | Internal process control, not a third-party test report. |
