Due to extensive test options and almost 40 years of experience,
ift Rosenheim is regarded an internationally leading testing and certification body for product characteristics of windows and facades.
The testing of windows and facades ranges from standard assessments of standardised characteristics, e.g. as a basis of CE marking, to the determination of fitness for use of products, in consideration of intended use, load and expected working life. Product-specific characteristics are included in object tests as well as in expert opinions. During system testing, the representative selection of test specimen is an important prerequisite for the formulation of consolidated test plans. ift’s selections are based on experience from tests, expert opinions and standardisations. ift is accredited to validate performance data of complete systems or product lines in a classification report. ift disposes of extensive test options for all product characteristics of windows and facades, such as the simulation of driving rain or static and dynamic wind loads, with test specimens of a width up to a maximum of 46 feet (14 m) and a maximum height of 33 feet (10 m). Naturally, ift is the right partner also for weak-spot analysis in line with developmental projects. Only a careful review of products at a preliminary stage helps to avoid complaints against manufacturers during long-term usage. Due to decreasing developmental intervals, this is of great importance.
