Wind-load calculation coordination

APRO can coordinate wind-load calculations according to project needs, helping bring your wind and exposure requirements into the selection discussion.

Thermal performance calculation coordination

APRO can coordinate thermal performance calculations according to project needs, supporting discussion of the proposed window and door package and its energy-performance priorities.

Australia — AS 2047 specimen test evidence

The AS150 awning-window report documents structural, operating-force, air-infiltration and water-penetration testing. It describes a tested specimen and its results, rather than an AS 2047 certification licence.

ISO 9001:2015 quality management

CQM certification with IQNET recognition

CQM certificate 00226Q01144R101 covers APRO’s sales and DMLP Facade & Engineering’s production of aluminum-alloy doors, windows and curtain walls within one quality management system.

The related IQNET certificate recognizes the same system and is linked to the CQM certificate and its annex. Quality-management certification addresses organizational processes; it does not replace product certification or performance evidence.

CQM 00226Q01144R101 · IQNET CN-00226Q01144R101

One quality management system. Linked certification and recognition records.

See the finish. Try the movement. Examine the detail.

Project-specified mock-ups

Turn drawing details into something your team can examine. APRO can provide physical window and door mock-ups and installation or junction samples to agreed project requirements.

See appearance and finish against your design intent. Try opening movement where included in the sample. Examine an agreed installation or junction detail. Mock-up scope and fees are agreed by project.

Specified third-party testing

Where your configuration or specification calls for further verification, APRO can coordinate additional third-party testing. Scope, fees and timing are agreed by project. A mock-up and additional testing can be discussed separately according to what your team needs.

Your project questions

What is the difference between certification, a rating and a test report?

Product certification identifies covered systems and configurations. A rating describes specified performance characteristics. A test report records a specimen’s results under stated conditions. Check each document against your proposed selection.

Will a NAFS 2017 record cover my project’s specified standard?

Share the required standard and edition. The available records document NAFS 2017 testing and, for Canadian records, CSA A440S1-19. Their applicability to another edition or project requirement needs separate consideration.

Can wind-load and thermal performance calculations be arranged?

Yes. APRO can coordinate both according to project needs. Scope and fees are agreed by project.

Does ISO 9001 replace product testing?

No. The CQM and related IQNET documents address one quality management system. Product certification, ratings and test reports provide different evidence for selected products.

What if the existing documents do not cover my proposal?

Bring the proposed configuration and requirements into the discussion. Project-coordinated calculations, a specified physical sample or additional third-party testing may help define the next step, with the relevant scope and commercial terms agreed by project.

Bring your specification into clearer focus.

Share your project location and building use, proposed system, dimensions and glazing, and any specified requirements or drawings. For a sample, tell us what your team wants to examine.
