COMMENCING DATE NEN-EN 16034 DEFINITIVE
FIRE AND/OR SMOKE-RESISTANT WINDOWS AND DOORS UPDATE
On November 1st the product-standard NEN-EN 16034 for fire and/ or smoke-resistant doors came into effect. As we have communicated in our previous newsletters, from that moment the coexistence period of three years started, whereby CE-marking according to NEN-EN 16034 will be mandatory from November 1st, 2019.
In the OJEU (Official Journal of the European Union) of October 28th is mentioned that NEN-EN 16034 should be applied provisionally for products within the scope of the current version of NEN-EN 13241-1 (garage doors and gates) or NEN-EN 14351-1 (windows and exterior doors).
From now it is possible for manufacturers to join SKG-IKOB for certification on EN 16034. After certification by SKG-IKOB it will be permissible to indicate the performance of the products placed on the market in a CE marking and in a Declaration of Performance (DoP). Certification only becomes compulsory after the ending of the coexistence period.
Are you aware that we can carry out smoke-resistance tests on windows, doors and facades on the basis of EN 1634-3 as well?
