Market success through quality assurance - the new concept

David Hepp (ift rosenheim, Germany)

In 1988, harmonisation of the building market for Europe was resolved. The basis for this is the Construction Products Directive, in which essential demands made of buildings have been formulated. The Construction Products Directive was implemented in Germany in 1993 with the Building Products Act.

With prEN 14 351, a new form of product for windows, external doors and roof windows is being introduced, regulating all the standardised properties and features and making reference to the valid test and classification standards.
