Following its successful European DIN EN (EN14351-1) certification by Germany’s PIV laboratory, CIVRO has reached another major milestone. 4 of CIVRO’s self-developed window and door systems have officially passed the AS2047 testing, conducted by the NATA-accredited Azuma Testing Laboratory.
This achievement is not merely a "pass" in a technical test; it is a testament to CIVRO’s engineering resilience and its strategic commitment to providing "worry-free" solutions for the global construction market.
Understanding AS2047: Why This Certification Matters
AS2047 (Windows and External Glazed Doors in Buildings) is the mandatory statutory standard for windows and doors sold in Australia. It is widely regarded as one of the most demanding standards in the world due to Australia's unique and extreme geographical conditions - ranging from high-velocity cyclonic winds in the north to intense coastal salt spray and high UV exposure.
Passing AS2047 requires a product to undergo a series of "limit state" tests, including:
Deflection Test: Ensuring the frame can withstand extreme wind pressure without permanent deformation.
Air Infiltration Test: Measuring the airtightness to ensure energy efficiency.
Water Penetration Resistance Test: Verifying that no water leakage occurs even under high-pressure simulated rain.
Ultimate Strength Test: Pushing the unit to its breaking point to ensure safety under catastrophic weather events.
The Strategic "Why" Behind CIVRO’s AS2047 Journey
For CIVRO, pursuing AS2047 was a deliberate strategic move. "Our goal is to create a universal language of quality," says the Head of CIVRO R&D. "By subjecting our systems to the world’s toughest standards - from Europe’s PIV to Australia’s AS2047 - we are providing architects and developers with a 'certified foundation.' It means that whether a project is in Sydney, Berlin, or Dubai, CIVRO systems offer the same high-level performance and regulatory peace of mind."
Elite Performance Highlights: The test results from Azuma Testing Laboratory show that CIVRO systems don't just meet the standards; they exceed them with elite-tier performance:
XW80IN Inwards Tilt-Turn Window (Report No. AZHK251206): Achieved a remarkable 700 Pa water resistance and +/- 2800 Pa ultimate strength.
XD63LS Lift Sliding Door (Report No. AZHK251209): Demonstrated superior structural integrity with 700 Pa water resistance and 2100 Pa serviceability pressure.
MD65IN Inwards Swing Door (Report No. AZHK251207): Showcased heavy-duty durability with an ultimate strength rating of +/- 3000 Pa.
MW65OU Awning Window (Report No. AZHK251208): Passed with a robust 600 Pa water resistance, ideal for versatile coastal applications.
A Solid Foundation for Global Designers
As CIVRO continues to expand its global footprint, these certifications serve as the bedrock of its service. By meeting the diverse regulatory requirements of different regions, CIVRO empowers designers and homeowners to focus on aesthetics and lifestyle, knowing the technical safety and durability are already proven.
