EN14351-1

Windows and exterior doors according to product standard EN 14351-1

SS-EN 14351-1 is the European standard that specifies the properties that must be reported for windows and exterior doors sold within the EU. The standard is the basis for CE marking, which means that the products have been tested and meet established requirements for, for example, energy efficiency, tightness and durability.

Quality and safety requirements.

Using the standard makes it easier to compare products and ensure that they maintain a safe and consistent level of quality – regardless of material or manufacturer.

For a customer, the CE marking is a guarantee that windows and doors comply with common European quality and safety requirements.

Services

Listed to right are the properties where RISE offers services.

Delivery

The results are reported in a written report that describes how the test item has performed against the applicable classification standard for the essential characteristic.

The report can also be used as a basis for a compiled ITT report and/or as a basis for the manufacturer's declaration of performance for CE marking.

CE marking

Products covered by EN 14351-1 must have a declaration of performance (DoP) and be CE marked in order to be sold within the EU. The manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the products meet the declared performance and that traceability between the product, declaration and marking is ensured.

Order

The product standard EN 14351-1 covers a large number of properties. RISE can test all of these properties. For the most commonly requested properties, there are links to pages with more information and contact details.

Testing of external and internal doors

External and internal doors are tested at RISE in a number of different ways. Testing is carried out to partly to investigate how new construction types work and partly as quality assurance with respect to the manufacturer’s product range. Here at RISE we investigate how external and internal doors perform when subjected to different climate variables in the form of rain, wind and cold.

Testing of insulating glass units

RISE has extensive experience in the testing of insulating glass for P and CE marking. The test includes resistance to moisture ingress and measurement of gas content. We also carry out damage investigations on insulating windows of various kinds. Examples of properties that can be examined are gas content, contamination and condensation problems within cavities.

Production control of safety glass

Thermally toughened, heat strengthened and/or laminated glass is used in a variety of applications to increase personal safety. Within RISE there is competence to evaluate and quality-assure the production process, carry out damage investigations and lead and participate in development and innovation projects in the field of glass.

Physical protection and safety / Service

Burglary protection for construction products and safes

Burglary and theft protection is more and more requred since society and sales demand protective products. RISE offers testning of a wide range of products and different classifications, for example doors, gates, blinds, windows, safes, locks and fittings.

Fire safety / Service

Testing of heat exhaust ventilators

Testing for wind load, air tightness and rain tightness is part of extensive testing of the fire ventilator aiming at certification. Other parts of RISE are tests for fire resistance, snow load, opening/closing test and vibration test.

Testing of conservatories

Now there is the possibility for manufacturers to P-mark the conservatories. The P label means that the conservatories not only meets the legal and / or regulatory requirements but also other requirements that the market demands. P-marking means type-test, a quality and self-inspection which is monitored by an independent third party, in this case RISE Research Institutes of Sweden.

Building envelope

Nationally unique. Highly contemporary and internationally competitive as it offers unique opportunities to test the entire building system in terms of weather and rain resistance. Evaluation of heat loss, radon transmission and risk of mold growth is also possible.

Concrete and cement / Service

Testing of industrial, garage doors and gates

CE marking is obligatory for industrial doors, garage doors and gates on the European market under the Construction Product Regulation. There is a requirement that certain tests must be carried out by an accredited testing laboratory. RISE has this accreditation for testing.
