How does Exova certification guarantee excellence in window and door manufacturing?

When it comes to manufacturing windows and doors for local authority building projects, certification from respected bodies like Exova plays a crucial role in maintaining exceptional standards. It shows that our products are safe and function properly, providing customers with peace of mind, knowing these products have been tested.

Certification helps to ensure high quality and trust in what we provide. When we create windows and doors for projects by local authorities, it’s vital to get certification from trustworthy groups like Exova. For Shelforce, these accreditations prove our commitment to quality and safety and ensure our manufacturing follows the best standards.

Fire safety: A critical focus

While media attention on the Grenfell Tower tragedy focussed on cladding, the subsequent Grenfell Tower Inquiry highlighted how crucial fire safety standards and certification are. Exova, our fire safety consultant, ensures that we meet these standards and comply. At Shelforce, we ensure that our fully compliant Fireshel fire doors meet all safety requirements. These doors go through rigorous testing and certification. They have been fully EN tested 3rd Party Accredited and are compliant with the latest 2020 MHCLG Annex A recommendations.

Comprehensive quality management

Our ISO 9001:2015 certification through Exova BM Trada showcases our comprehensive quality management system, ensuring we consistently meet regulatory requirements, enhance customer satisfaction, implement continuous improvement processes, and maintain strict conformity to statutory standards.
