What is DIN EN?

DIN EN standards are the technical specifications developed through the collaboration of German (DIN) and European (EN) institutes. They cover critical performance areas such as burglar resistance (RC classes), mechanical strength, and weather tightness.

PIV (Prüfinstitut Schlösser und Beschläge Velbert) is a world-renowned German testing institute specializing in the hardware and functional reliability of windows and doors.

Why does CIVRO conduct this testing?

As a brand that designs different systems to meet the needs of various climates and environments around the world, CIVRO utilizes PIV testing to validate the durability and security of our systems. Testing our mature slender interlock section sliding doors and high-performance windows against DIN EN standards ensures they can withstand decades of heavy cycles and attempted forced entry, providing the "German-standard" reliability that high-end residential and commercial clients demand.
