Testing and Certification

IGUMA requires all members to meet the test requirements as set out in IGUMA-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. 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:

IGUMA Members and Testing Status

as at 16 June 2010

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.
