AIR–WATER–WIND (A.E.V) test for windows
The purpose of the test is to determine the air permeability, water tightness, and wind gust resistance of windows, French windows, and doors, regardless of the materials used (wood, aluminum, PVC, mixed, etc.).
AIR–WATER–WIND (A.E.V) test for curtain walls
The purpose of the test is to determine the air permeability, water tightness, and wind gust resistance of aluminum curtain walls.
Soft and heavy body impact resistance test
The purpose of the test is to determine the damage caused by the impact of a soft, heavy object on the face of a closed door leaf, fixed in its frame as part of a door assembly.
Test to determine resistance to vertical load
The test consists of determining the permanent deformation caused by a vertical load applied to an open door leaf fixed in its frame as part of a door assembly.
Operating force test
The purpose of the test is to determine the forces required to open/close hinged and sliding doors, and to engage/release and lock/unlock the hardware using a key or handle.
On-site water tightness test
The purpose of the test is to determine the water tightness of installed facades on site following the application of a constant and specified quantity of water (5 l/min/m ± 10%) in a continuous film on the external face of the curtain wall installed on a building for 30 minutes, while checking for water leaks.
Static and dynamic load testing of guardrails
The purpose of the test is to determine the behavior of fixed guardrails following the application of static and dynamic loads.
