Double Glazing Manufacturers
IGUMA (Insulated Glass Unit Manufacturers Association) is a group of Glass Processors who have agreed to an (independently verified) testing regime. Your IGUMA Member supplier can provide you with a copy of the current compliance certificate for the product you are purchasing.
NZS4223.2:2016 requires IGU to be tested and demonstrate compliance. IGUMA members who comply with IGUMA-BS EN1279 testing also comply with the requirements of Section 5 of NZS 4223.2:2016.
Identification of Insulating Glass Units
The New Zealand Building Code Clause B2 (amendment 9, January 2017) modifies NZS 4223 Part 2 as follows:
5.3 Marking
Insulating glass units shall be permanently and clearly marked. As a minimum, marking shall include the following:
- a) The name or registered trademark of the manufacturer or supplier;
- b) The date of manufacture (use the year as the minimum), and
- c) Complies with NZS 4223.2:2016.
Marking shall be visible after the IGU has been installed, and must be legible and durable for the life of the unit.
NOTE –
- Etching and permanent laser marking are acceptable means for marking insulating glass units. Externally affixed adhesive labels are not acceptable.
- Additional Marking may be used by the manufacturer.
