Chiltern Dynamics will treble capacity to test Insulating Glass Units (IGUs) to EN1279: Part 2, when a new custom-built chamber is installed in the Autumn.

The company has already trebled the initial test capacity since the UKAS-accredited service was launched a year ago and is looking forwrad to being able to reduce still further customers’ waiting time for the 16 week test cycle. Chiltern Dynamics holds Notified Body status in this key field and is one of only two UKAS-accredited laboratories in the UK to be able to test to EN1279. More than 60 manufacturers are undergoing IGU testing with them, including organisations outside Europe.

Sister company BM TRADA’s Q-Mark IGU Scheme was launched to help manufacturers meet the demands of EN1279 and National House Building Council (NHBC) will now accept the Q-Mark alongside the Kitemark for IGUs going into windows for new homes.
