BM TRADA launches Q-Mark for toughened glass



Responding to demand from manufacturers, BM TRADA Certification Ltd has launched a Q-mark third-party certification scheme for toughened glass. The scheme is aimed at manufacturers of:

  • Heat-soaked thermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass (compliant with BS EN 14179) and
  • hermally toughened soda lime silicate safety glass (compliant with BS EN 12150).

The product standards for both products have now been published and CE marking of the product can therefore commence on 1st September this year.

Product Certification Manager Simon Beer said: ’We were approached by several manufacturers of insulating glass units who are already members of our Q-Mark scheme for IGUs. They felt that it would be advantageous to have certification for toughened glass with BM TRADA also and we have developed the scheme accordingly.’

Like all other Q-Mark schemes this new scheme sets the same high standards. ‘We aim to go beyond the requirements of CE marking so that manufacturers who achieve the Q-Mark can genuinely differentiate themselves from other CE marked products,’ Mr Beer added.
