Norm Service
Advice, expert knowledge, licences and reliable tests: for standard-compliant production, MACO offers many solutions when it comes to burglary protection RC and CE conformity CE. With TBDK MACO even determines the maximum permissible sash weights. This results in products that meet the requirements of both legislators and our customers.
RC
Everything for verifiable burglary protection: RC stands for “Resistance Class” and indicates the resistance class in terms of burglary protection. MACO advises on and tests building elements regarding resistance in accordance with burglary standards (RC 1 to RC 4) - for all frame materials. To this end, MACO issues licences that enable standard-compliant production without the need for extensive testing.
CE
Everything CE -compliant: Anyone who constructs windows or doors and places them on the market must be able to test the system and provide proof of CE conformity - for example for air permeability, driving rain tightness and wind resistance. With the CE Norm Service, MACO offers licences, testing and advice on verification management and compliance with these standards.
TBDK
First the sash weight, then the fittings: TBDK is the test that MACO uses to determine the maximum tensile and compressive forces that can act on the hinge bracket and scissor arm without damaging the screw connection in the frame. This determines the maximum sash weight with which windows can be manufactured in a technically safe manner and in different sizes and variants.
