SKG is accredited
Guarantee of quality Choosing SKG means choosing quality. There are many reasons why SKG has been the leading test institution for many years: ■ the authoritative test institution for the building industry for more than 35 years, established by the industry itself ■ consistent high level of testing and certification ■ guaranteed impartiality and objectivity ■ intensive, pro-active and long-term relationship with customers
SKG assesses your designs, products, processes and systems. To guarantee its reliability, SKG is inspected in turn by the Dutch Accreditation Council and is recognised as a Notified Body. These accreditations endorse the independence, objectivity, knowledge, expertise and meticulousness of SKG.
Well-known for its stars, big in the building trade The little SKG house with the star classification on your door and window hardware: this is probably what SKG brings to mind. But did you know that SKG is also a reputable institution for the award of ISO 9001 and VCA certificates and the testing and certification of products such as window frames and balustrades?

Go for profit with an SKG certificate A certificate awarded by SKG gives your customers confidence that your process or product satisfies specific quality, performance and/ or safety requirements. But there are considerable benefits for your own organisation, too: costs incurred due to failure will drop substantially, timeconsuming inspection procedures will become superfluous and you will save unnecessary costs during building processes. This makes a certificate from SKG an investment that always pays. KOMO® attest-met-productcertificaat SKG’11.31.2.111 uitgegeven: vervangt: geldig tot:

An independent, expert verdict As an expert and independent party, SKG can carry out investigations to provide support for product development, building site inspections and arbitration issues. Depending on your requirements, checks will be carried out for compliance with the relevant assessment guidelines or standards. This will result in a valuable report.
Investigations & Tests
The proof that your product is good You want to prove that your product satisfies the current standards. This can be done by means of one of the SKG tests. Testing can take place in SKG’s accredited test laboratory, but is also possible on location. If your product passes the test, a report will be issued. The result of the test can then be converted into an attestation or product certificate. This is a strong endorsement of quality, especially for your customers.

What do you want your product tested for? A selection of the tests we carry out: ■ Burglar resistance ■ Fall safety and impact load ■ Wind resistance and watertightness ■ Strength and rigidity ■ Durability ■ Break-out resistance ■ Fire resistance You will find more information about testing at www.skg.nl.
Partner in product development If you call in SKG while your prototype is being tested, then you will know about any weak points at an early stage. This makes it possible for you to improve the product where necessary and therefore considerably increase its durability.

Investigations & Tests 7
Develop your tests with us Objective inspections Local governments, building firms and architects call in SKG regularly for building site inspections: independent examination of building products or structures during the building process. SKG also carries out inspections in arbitration cases, when there is disagreement in connection with complaints about building products such as facade elements, window and door hardware, glass or adhesives. SKG as advisor If SKG carries out a test or inspection for you, you will then have a strong verdict at your disposal. But what you subsequently do with that verdict is just as important.
Investigations & Tests
SKG offers a wide range of tests to which your product can be subjected. These range from burglar resistance to the effect of all sorts of weather and other conditions. Is the test you want not available yet? Then we will work with you to design a test that thoroughly assesses the quality of your product.
Tests on location at your site To satisfy your testing requirements quickly and flexibly, we also carry out tests and inspections on location with our measuring vehicle and mobile test equipment. This not only saves you time and money, it also increases the learning effect within your organisation, because your personnel can see the result of their work with their own eyes.
