IGUMA Double Glazing Manufacturing Members

Only manufacturers who comply with the rules of the Insulating Glass Manufacturers' Association (IGUMA) may be members and claim IGUMA membership.

An Insulating Glass Unit (IGU) is the sealed double glazing unit.

bulletpromotes the use of insulating glass (double glazing) in New Zealand

 

Testing and Certification

IGUMA requires all members to meet the test requirements as set out in EN1279. The testing is carried out by an independent body, BRANZ Ltd.

 

The rigorous testing and scheduled re-testing of members' products is key to customer satisfaction with our members' products. The testing status of each member is reviewed at the regular industry meetings and the status is reported on this webpage.

 

 

Why Regular Testing is Important

The IGUMA-EN1279 testing is undertaken by an independent internationally recognised Wellington based Building Materials testing laboratory. The test standard EN1279 is an internationally recognised European Standard that demonstrates the long-term durability of the Insulating Glass Unit. 

 

IGUMA-EN1279 testing is combined with a sophisticated production line quality management system. The quality management system is externally audited by 3rd party accreditation agencies who are usually the same professional auditing team that certify the Safety Glass Manufacturing.

 

IGUs manufactured by IGUMA members and tested to IGUMA-EN 1279 meet NZ Building Code Durability (B2) requirements.  

 

Long-term durability of an IGU is important to ensure:

bullet

Building Energy Efficiency is maintained to provide H1 performance  

bullet

Thermal Insulation is maintained to prevent heat loss   

bullet

Solar Heat Gain is controlled as required to prevent overheating

bullet

Visibility and sound reduction properties are maintained

bullet

Structural Stability is maintained under wind loads.

bullet

Structural Stability and safety is maintained under human impact loads 

 

IGUMA Certified IGU production means fewer problems.

 

 

 

IGUMA Members and Testing Status

as at 23 September 2008

Note: 

All IGUMA members are listed here and are deemed compliant as long as they are following the IGUMA testing rules.  In the early months of membership, the test reports reflect the initial short tests that precede the full tests which are much longer in duration. Any member that is not following the IGUMA testing rules for any reason, is demoted to the status of provisional members, until their test results confirm compliance with IGUMA-EN1279.
