About This Scheme
Bluesky’s Acoustic Door and Window scheme is designed to provide manufacturers of noise reducing windows and door sets the means to demonstrate that their products meet the relevant British Standards for acoustic performance characteristics. This is done through initial type testing of the window or doorset design, implementation and monitoring of the FPC, with annual FPC audits and audit tests to verify the ongoing performance of the product.
The scheme applies to the acoustic performance and general durability characteristics of windows and door sets manufactured from one of the following materials:
- Aluminium
- Aluminium / timber composite
- PVC-u
- Timber
- Steel.
Initial requirements
Initial Type Test evidence:
For each product to be certified, the manufacturer shall supply test evidence to BS EN ISO 10140-2. The product must achieve the rating which is being claimed through a test, rather than an assessment.
