WINTECH ANNOUNCE NEW CERTIFICATION SCHEME FOR RAINSCREEN CLADDING SUPPORT SYSTEMS Building envelope testing & certification specialists, Wintech Engineering Limited, have recently expanded their UKAS accredited WinMark Certification services by introducing a new scheme for Rainscreen Cladding Support Systems. Similar to their WinMark Scheme for the Performance of Curtain Walling & Rainscreen Cladding, the new scheme is compliant with the NHBC Chapter 6.9 and Premier Guarantee’s Technical Manual 7.7.5. Wintech Associate Director of Certification, Mark Swanborough announced the introduction of the new scheme, saying “The marketplace is waking up to the importance of product testing and certification, and with regulations from industry bodies getting more stringent, manufacturers and systems companies can’t afford to not have some form of industry-recognised product testing and certification. “Certification can be key for our customers to demonstrate that their products and processes have been independently assessed to prove their credibility, and the competency of the company’s manufacturing systems and installation quality as a whole. We are already known throughout the industry for providing testing to CWCT Standards, as well as other international standards, now we want to wake the industry up to the importance of having their cladding product certified” For more information on Wintech’s testing and certification services, please get in touch on the detail below.
