Certifications, Accreditations, and Member Associations

The benefits of proving performance with BFRC energy ratings spread like a domino effect, cascading down the entire supply chain, the end goal being that you as a fabricator or installer can prove the performance of Reynaers products all the way down to homeowners.

A quality management system such as ISO 9001 defines our commitment to creating products and services in accordance with pre-defined standards.

An effective QMS ensures that our business delivers to a consistently high standard, together with a plan to continually measure and improve every aspect of the business operations, within the appropriate regulatory framework.

Used by organizations across the world to manage and reduce energy use and costs, ISO 50001 is an excellent framework to help implement an energy management system (EnMS). From large retailers to smaller manufacturers and small businesses, the standard offers organizations the opportunity to become more resilient against energy costs and availability.

Certification to ISO 14001 demonstrates that our organisation is committed to environmental improvement and is proactively working to minimise our impact on the environment, for example by producing less waste, in the way we treat and handle waste, increasing energy efficiency, and our use of natural resources.

The Cradle to Cradle Certified® Product Standard provides the framework to assess the safety, circularity and responsibility of materials and products across five categories of sustainability performance:

• Material Health- Ensuring materials are safe for humans and the environment
• Product Circularity- Enabling a circular economy through product and process design
• Clean Air & Climate Protection- Generating clean energy and protecting the environment
• Water & Soil Stewardship- Safeguarding air, water and soil resources
• Social Fairness- Embracing safe, fair and equitable

Reynaers currently holds 9 Cradle-to-Cradle certificates for our Products and variants (12 in total).

Secured by Design (SBD) doors and windows are designed and manufactured to meet rigorous standards of enhanced security performance as defined by the police. Approved products can only be manufactured by an SBD license holder who goes through stringent independent UKAS approved testing.

CWCT (Centre for Window & Cladding Technology) Standard Test Methods for Building Envelopes determine the level of serviceability of a façade or rainscreen cladding system when subjected to typical climactic levels of water, air and solid object impact.

Standards are written under the guidance of the CWCT Standards Committee comprising leading architects, consultants, contractors and manufacturers. CWCT standards have now been adopted by NBS and NHBC.

The UL Mark indicates that UL has tested representative samples of the product and found it to be compliant with the applicable standard or other requirements with respect to its potential risk of fire, electric shock and mechanical hazards. The UL Mark on a product is the manufacturer’s representation of continued compliance with the applicable standard. More than 20 billion products are awarded the UL safety mark worldwide each year. UL is the only third-party certification organisation which is authorised to issue the UL Mark.

The BFRC rainbow label confirms our products have been independently verified by experts and have been assessed to ensure products will perform as promised. This gives you the evidence you need to make the right choice for your home's energy performance requirements.
