Mandatory changes to EN 1279 from March 19th 2020: act now.

Our industry could be forgiven for being distracted with the countless economic and political challenges that were thrown our way in 2019, but in 2020 we have a new and very specific challenge to face, and we need to prepare quickly to ensure continued compliance.

The standard for the manufacture of Double-Glazed Sealed Units (IGU’s) has been amended. It is currently in transition and becomes mandatory on the 19th March 2020.

This hEN standard – EN 1279:2018 product standard – is needed to comply with the Construction Products Regulation and has undergone several changes that will affect Sealed Unit Manufacturers. The changes need to be addressed urgently. We can’t cover the complexities of the changes in this letter but here’s a summary of how sealed unit manufacturers will need to comply from the March deadline.

 

  • Primary and Secondary Sealant – compliance with EN 1279:4-2018
  • Molecular Sieves – change in test method and compliance with EN 1279:4-2018
  • Foamed Spacer Systems – test methods and compliance with EN 1279:4-2018
  • Testing to EN 1279-6:2018– new parameters and tolerances.
  • Change of documentation to reference the new standard.

The changes are relatively straight-forward but there is a process that needs to be adhered to before the deadline to ensure ongoing compliance, so companies do need to act sooner rather than later. As is always the case with changing legislation we’ve found there is a general lack of awareness across the industry and no sense of urgency to meet the deadline, which inevitably leads to a last-minute rush when the deadline is upon us.

We’re already helping our existing customers to get up to date ahead of the deadline, but we’ve also tried to help companies further afield by providing some free of charge impartial guidance on the issue on our website www.censolutions.com. We’re also happy to talk to anyone who has any questions about these important upcoming changes so that as an industry we can achieve the changes in time for 19th March.

Bucking the trend

The launch of Ryanair and Easyjet in 1995 completely changed the face of air travel from the UK. What was previously seen as a premium commodity, almost overnight became an achievable dream for many. By only travelling to a specific list of European destinations, their direct sales approach using only the internet and call centres […]

Is it coming home?

As World Cup fever grips the nation it’s fair to say that most of us are somewhat sceptical when we hear the phrase ‘it’s coming home’. This isn’t because we don’t want that to be the case, far from it.  It’s just we’ve had our hopes dashed before so we know there is a high possibility of that happening again.  It’s funny the analogies you make, as England’s World Cup bid got me thinking about delivering on expectations and then relating that to the fenestration industry…

Celebrating 15!

This year, we’re delighted to say, CENSolutions is celebrating 15 years in business. Back in 2003 when we started out, we were a small team of three, but we had big plans and a clear vision – we wanted to add real value. Too many manufacturers were receiving a raw deal from their certification providers; not seeing or hearing from them from one audit to the next, being bombarded with jargon, always on the back foot with new legislation and paying way over the odds for the privilege!  Our aim was to provide a hassle-free, plain English approach to certification that proved much better value for money.
