Metal Technology has completed satisfactory testing of the System 4-20Hi+ casement window with SE Controls' new SECO N actuator.
As actuators are now regularly specified on casement windows the market needed clear support and guidance in relation to the weather performance of this product when operated with an actuator.
To achieve optimum parameters for the test, Metal Technology partnered with SE Controls and with their guidance agreed that the new SECO N actuator should be used. The SECO N actuator provided optimum performance via its programmable compression setting and seal relief.
Test results were positive with the window exceeding the current requirements of BS 6375-1 allowing Metal Technology partners to declare performance under their obligations to CE mark to EN 14351-1 in accordance with the Construction Product Regulations 2013. In addition, the testing gives them compliance with current weathering performance legislation throughout the UK and Ireland .
The Initial Type Test results can only be cascaded and declared on the Declaration of Performance (DoP) if the tested detail is utilised and the size criteria is not exceeded.
The full test report is available from Metal Technology technical department.
