12.0 Technical Investigation – Tests
12.1
Tests were carried out and the results assessed against BS EN 12380: 2002 to deternine:
•
impact resistance (drop test)
•
airtightness after endurance at negative temperature
•
airtightness before and after endurance at positive temperature
•
opening pressure
•
airflow capacity
13.0 Technical Investigation
13.1
The manufacturing process applied to these products are controlled with FloPlast BS EN ISO 9001: 2015 Quality
Management System (Certificate No. FM501414). These processes are regularly audited by representatives of BSI to
ensure continued compliance with our detailed processes.
13.2
FloPlast’s valves are subject to type testing and audit test as deterrmine with the Kitemark scheme to which they
are certified, (Certificate KM512474). Testing is undertaken on behalf of BSI at the Building Research Establishment also
known as BRE.
