As the product standard EN 16034 can only be linked to the already harmonised product standards for windows and external doors EN 14351-1 and for doors EN 13241, it does not yet apply to internal doors. This means that everything remains the same for interior doors at the moment.

SIPIZ Quality Seal: WPK-certified operation
The Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) is a prerequisite for creating a Declaration of Performance. The procedures and systems for assessing and verifying constancy of performance (AVCP procedures and AVCP systems) are intended to provide accurate, reliable and comparable information on the performance of a construction product.
Producers who place, for example, fire protection doors/windows, smoke protection doors/windows, or emergency doors/windows on the market fall under AVCP System 1. According to the Construction Products Act (BauPG), these construction products must provide evidence that the declared performance of the construction products is achieved on a durable basis. In-house production control refers to the self-monitoring of production by the company (the producer). This includes the establishment of the in-house production control facility, as well as its documentation and maintenance. The producer must establish, document and maintain a factory production control system to ensure that the products placed on the market comply with the declared performance levels for their essential characteristics.
The factory production control system must include procedures, regular inspections and tests and/or assessments, as well as the application of the results, to control the raw materials and other supplied materials or structural elements, the equipment, the manufacturing process and the product. The requirements for the FPC for doors and windows are defined in EN 16034, Sections 6.3 and 1, and Section 7.3. The FPC is constructed by the producer to their specific operations and is therefore not a standard off-the-shelf product. This enables the producer to construct the FPC precisely in line with their needs and to create benefits throughout the operation through regulated and well-thought-out processes.
The producer must have the factory production control (FPC) supervised by a Notified Body, e.g. SIPIZ AG.
With the SIPIZ quality seal ‘WPK – certified company’, the producer demonstrates the successful certification of the WPK within their operation. The product standards listed on the quality seal also indicate the scope of certification.
