Modern windows, doors, and façades from Germany and Europe are well-regarded in the U.S. and Canada for their high quality and energy efficiency, offering strong potential for market growth in North America. However, entry into this market requires compliance with specific standards such as ASTM, AAMA, and NAFS.
To support manufacturers aiming to export to the U.S., ift Rosenheim has partnered with U.S.-based Keystone Certifications. This collaboration allows European companies to test products like windows, doors, and safety glass in Germany according to North American standards. It eliminates the need for lengthy and costly transportation of test specimens across the Atlantic.
ift Rosenheim is now recognized by Keystone Certifications for key testing methods referenced in standards such as AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 (NAFS), ASTM E330, E283, E331, E547, F588, and ANSI Z97.1. In addition, ift Rosenheim is accredited by the German Accreditation Body (DAkkS), ensuring the reliability of test procedures.
This cooperation marks a significant step for European manufacturers, streamlining access to U.S. certification and supporting efficient, regulation-compliant market entry in North America.
