Assa Test Centre Expands
Asssa Abloy has announced the expansion of its enhanced UK test centre in Daventry – UKAS-accredited in recognition of its commitment to the very highest testing standards. Now spanning 691m2 the expanded test centre has an increased testing capability which, according to Assa Abloy, enables it to offer enhanced capacity and a smoother workflow, providing customers with quicker results and complete confidence that their products are being rigorously assessed. The company has promised to provide all test reports and certificates within two weeks of a successful test.
Fully independent, secure, and confidential, the facility welcomes the products of all external customers and offers a comprehensive range of tests. These include PAS 24 enhanced security testing for doorsets, BS EN 1670 corrosion resistance for doorsets, and BS 6375-1 weathertightness.
Assa Abloy says the testing processes in place and the increased capacity, mean quicker results and reporting. Each test serves to validate the security and durability of the product in question, ensuring they meet the relevant standards while improving their performance and reliability.
Staff Cooke, technical director at Asssa Abloy, Says: “We’re thrilled to be opening our expanded Test Centre, now with UKAS accreditation to give our customers absolute assurance that our testing meets strict, nationally recognised standards. Just as importantly, tests are carried out by specialists who understand the products inside out—because we test windows and doors every day.”
“What the Asssa Abloy Test Centre really offers is an independent, first-class testing facility that combines accredited processes with real product know-how. Unlike generalist centres that may switch from one type of test to the next, our team understands what matters when setting up and assessing windows and doors—right down to the details that can affect performance. This gives UK manufacturers everything they need to innovate and produce the best compliant security and safety products they can.”
