For quality. Test Mark of TÜV Rheinland.

TÜV Rheinland Logo, Contact us at info@nl.tuv.comOur test mark is the visible indication of the highest possible quality in testing products, services, systems and processes in all sectors. The testmark consists of the shield with logo of TÜV Rheinland and a ID of the test. Furthermore external testmarks, a QR-code and year rings can be added to provide more information about the test, inspection or certification.

1 QR code

TUV Rheinland keurmerk keywords trefwoorden en IDThe QR code (QR stands for ‘quick response’) has been added to the test mark at the request of customers. Scanning it with a smart phone provides direct access to the certification database Certipedia by TÜV Rheinland.

Testing or certification. What is the difference?

Testing versus certification

Testing

TÜV Rheinland Logo, Contact us at info@nl.tuv.comTesting is checking if a product fulfills the requirements of a certain standard, testing results in a test report (not a certificate), it reflects the status of that one product (not: the production) on that moment and doesn’t say anything about the quality of the ongoing production.
Mandatory for Initial Type Testing of a product.

Certification

Certification and testing of glass by TÜV Rheinland


TÜV Rheinland Logo, Contact us at info@nl.tuv.com
TÜV Rheinland has a specialized group of people, based in the Netherlands, performing testing, inspections and certification of building materials. Products that can be certified are glass as used in building constructions (float, heat strengthened, tempered, coated, laminated glass, insulating glass units, fire – bullet – explosion resistant glass etc.), windows and doors, curtain walling, smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems (SHEV’s) and sealants.

After products have been tested on aspects such as strength and durability, mechanical stability, safety, energy economy, sustainable use of natural resources and quality in own TÜV Rheinland or other accredited labs, the products can be certified.

Certification of glass

Certification activities include making a certification contract, performing initial audits, initial factory inspections, sample taking audits (for products with certain safety related properties), Factory Production Control (FPC) audits and other surveillance audits.

Clients often think that after a test a certificate will be issued. But testing is checking a product or service by use of a set of requirements and test methods (a standard) if that product/service fulfills the requirements of that standard. Testing results in a test report (not a certificate), it reflects the status of that one product (not: the production) on that moment. A test report says nothing about the quality of the ongoing production.
Certification is an ongoing process: the fabrication of the product is under continuous surveillance by the certification body, certification results in a certificate, if test results and audit results were and stay positive.

Certification of glass, voluntary of mandatory?

Certification of a construction products like glass can be voluntary or mandatory. It depends on the Attestation of Conformity system (level) of the product with its characteristics under the old Construction Products Directive or, from 1 July 2013, the ‘Systems of assessment and verification of constancy of performance’ under the new Construction Products Regulation EU No 305/2011 (law from 1 July in all EU member states).

In case of fire, bullet or explosion resistant materials, mostly system 1 is applicable, meaning that certification is mandatory. Clients can also decide for voluntary certification, to distinguish themselves from their competitors.
