Transforming the fenestration industry

Our comprehensive range of testing and certification services for windows and doors can bring you to complete peace of mind whether you manufacture windows and doors, are a window installer, or you are looking to source quality products.

If you are a systems house or fabricator, gain proof of performance for your products so that you can tender for new business opportunities, and get your products to market more effectively.

If you are a specifier you can be confident the products you procure are high quality and reliable, by specifying the BSI Kitemark.

If you are a windows installer you can demonstrate quality workmanship and your commitment to customer service by gaining a BSI Kitemark for your installation service.

At BSI we pride ourselves as the partner of choice for Windows and Doors certification, to strengthen this we have launched three exciting new products to help you stand out from the crowd:

• Approved Document Q Verification - this new scheme helps installers to save time, reduce admin and prove compliance through having documentation in their own company name. Eliminating the need to depend on supply chains to cascade the necessary paperwork, minimising disruption and delays. Find out more

• Hardware for Windows and Doors Kitemark - demonstrate that products have undergone third party certification from production assembly through to installation with this new Kitemark, proving your hardware meets industry recognized standards. Find out more
• Entrance Doorset Dual Certification - for doorsets which require both fire and enhanced security characteristics to help minimize risk and enhance compliance for manufacturers. Find out more
