Export of windows to the USA and Canada – testing.
Our laboratory has expanded its accreditation scope to include new testing methods from the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) series of standards. The testing methods included in the new scope of accreditation have been performed by the laboratory for several years now. Confirmation of competence in this area took place on March 29-30, 2023, at our laboratory headquarters during the annual audit overseeing certificate No. AB 1054 issued by the Polish Accreditation Center.
The scope includes tests for external windows and doors according to the product standard requirements.
