Testing & Certification

All UNITY systems have undergone rigorous testing to CWCT standards plus reaction to fire testing to BS EN 13501-1. Our anodised or pre-coated aluminium options provide A1 rated solutions while powder coated aluminium provides an A2-s1,d0 reaction to fire classification. UNITY powder coated panels have been tested in accordance with EN 13501-1 as close as possible to their end use application. This certification covers powder coated aluminium fixed back to aluminium profiles with horizontal and vertical joints, the appropriate ventilation space plus a mineral wool substrate.
