About Bluesky Certification
Independent 3rd party certification for the manufacture, installation, inspection and maintenance of doors, windows and fire resistant products.
Our Vision
Everyone, regardless of who they are, should feel safe in the buildings they live or work in and deserve the assurance that products installed in buildings will function as intended —especially when it concerns life safety. Bluesky is deeply committed to elevating industry standards and seeks to attract companies who share this commitment.
Our schemes are designed for companies that prioritise doing things the right way. We want to be responsive and innovative so that companies who meet our expectations will find us easy to work with. However, we act swiftly when organisations fall short of the standards we require, as maintaining our credibility as a trusted certification body is essential.
Accreditation
Bluesky Certification is a UKAS accredited Certification Body, No. 9413. This accreditation covers only the activities described in our accreditation scope.
If you are considering using another certification body we suggest you verify that they are also accredited by UKAS, as this will help to ensure that the certification is credible.
Recognised by Secured by Design and NHBC
Bluesky Certification is recognised by Secured by Design (SBD) and provides the certification which is required for door and window manufacturer and installers to apply for membership of SBD licensing schemes. You can find us listed under "Certification Bodies". Secured by Design is the flagship UK police initiative to help 'design out' crime through the use of high-quality, innovative products and processes. In West Yorkshire, research demonstrated that newly built developments built to SBD standards were up to 75% less likely to be burgled.
NHBC recognises that a UKAS-accredited Approved Body is able to test and determine the performance characteristics of window and door sets to British Standards. Calibso Limited (trading as Bluesky Certification) is a UKAS accredited Approved Body, no. 2731, approved by DLUHC to provide assessment against the given schemes. Therefore, assessments carried out by Bluesky Certification can be used to determine compliance with the relevant sections of NHBC Standards Chapter 6.7 'Doors, windows and glazing.
