The contemporary new Zendow profile suite from Status Systems is now fully accredited for specification by specifiers. Following tests, Zendow is now wholly compliant with BS EN 12608, BS 7950 and PAS 23/24 for doors.

Status Systems Quality Assurance Manager, Austin Greene commented ‘Zendow sailed through these rigorous tests without any problems.’

BS EN 12608 is a kitemark British Standard for the material properties of plastic extrusion.

All Zendow profiles were comprehensively tested to show that the product is of a good quality. For example, sample Zendow windows were tested for air and water penetration. In addition, welded profile was tested for breaks, heat reversion and impact resistance.

To comply with the BS7950 security test, a fully fabricated Zendow was installed in a test rig and efforts were made to break into the window, Zendow passed with flying colours. The test requirement of PAS 23 and 24 for doors includes air and water penetration plus security.
