Testing of windows and doors for public and residential buildings

Windows and doors are essential elements of enclosing structures, directly impacting the comfort, energy efficiency, and safety of a building. We conduct testing of air permeability, water tightness, and resistance to wind load for windows and doors used in residential and public buildings. These characteristics are critical for ensuring the tightness and durability of the structures.
The reliability and safety of your construction projects begin with precise laboratory testing.

We perform testing of windows and doors, regardless of frame material (PVC, aluminum, wood), according to the harmonized European standard DSTU EN 14351-1:2020 “Windows and doors. Product standard. Part 1: Windows and external pedestrian doorsets (EN 14351-1:2006 + A2:2016, IDT)” to determine the main operational characteristics of the products:

  • Air permeability according to DSTU EN 1026:2021 “Windows and doors — Air permeability — Test method (EN 1026:2000, IDT).” Determination of air permeability classes according to DSTU EN 12207:2020 “Windows and doors — Air permeability — Classification (EN 12207:1999, IDT).”
  • Water tightness according to DSTU EN 1027:2021 “Windows and doors — Water tightness — Test method (EN 1027:2000, IDT).” Determination of water tightness classes according to DSTU B EN 12208:2013 “Windows and doors — Water tightness — Classification (EN 12208:1999, IDT).”
  • Resistance to wind load according to DSTU EN 12211:2020 “Windows and doors — Resistance to wind load — Test method (EN 12211:2016, IDT).” Determination of wind load resistance classes according to DSTU EN 12210:2021 “Windows and doors — Resistance to wind load — Classification (EN 12210:2016, IDT).”

The tests are conducted on an automatic test bench by MessTec, a leading European laboratory equipment manufacturer, certified by IFT-Rosenheim (Germany).
