CE Marking
What is CE Marking?
The CE marking on doors and windows is a marking affixed to the product under specific rules, with the sole responsibility of the manufacturer, to ensure its smooth circulation in the Turkish and European Union markets.
Legal Obligation and the TS EN 14351–1:2006 Standard
According to the TS EN14351–1:2006 standard, which entered into force in 2006, door and window system manufacturers (manufacturers' dealers) are required to have CE markings on their products. The transition period began in 2007 and ended in February 2010. From this date on, market surveillance and inspections will be implemented, and penalties will be imposed if windows that do not bear the CE marking are introduced to the market.
Purpose of CE Certification
Features such as thermal insulation, noise insulation, energy savings, and service life can be observed through CE tests, directly demonstrating their contribution to comfort, economy, and health for our customers.
Increasing Market Demand and Certification
Project companies, architects, contractors, and end users are increasingly demanding window systems that have been tested and certified for their features. To prove and certify that windows meet these specifications, we receive support from independent, impartial, accredited, and approved testing and certification bodies.
Our Responsibility as a Manufacturer
As a manufacturer, our organization designs PVC profiles, doors, and windows based on customer demands, sales and marketing policies, and market requirements.
Initial type tests (ITT) have been conducted in laboratories approved by the European Union and published in the Official Journal of the European Union. We have authorized door and window system manufacturers and distributors to use the initial type test results.
We have established and implemented factory production control system rules to ensure consistently consistent performance characteristics for door and window systems produced by door and window manufacturers and distributors.
