Although the CE marking for exterior windows and doors is mandatory since February 2010, this does not ensure proper assembly on site, así como un correcto ajuste de las distintas partes de la misma para garantizar la estanqueidad de la ventana y puertas una vez finalizada su instalación en la obra.
Within the work functions defined in the Building Planning Law, for control laboratories such as Elaborex S.L., that is enrolled in the Registry of Testing Laboratories for the Quality Control of Building and Public Works of Extremadura con números de registro EXT-L-014 in his laboratory in Badajoz, the EXT-L-036 in Cáceres, is to provide technical assistance to verify the quality of the project, la realización de ensayos o pruebas de servicio de los materiales, de los sistemas o de las instalaciones de una obra de edificación.

It involves subjecting the exterior surface of a window installed in the building to a constant and specific amount of water that forms a continuous film for a given time.; verifying the absence of water penetration inside.
The test must be carried out on completely finished work units, in final conditions of use.
To carry out the tests, there is a system of sprinklers that apply a continuous film of water regularly over the entire surface capable of being wet under the real conditions of exposure., by means of conical circular jet nozzles.
Nozzles, sprinkler angle and spray flow are arranged according to the UNE standard 85247:2011.

buenas tarde,
en un proyecto de rehabilitación, que numero sería aconsejable de ensayos
gracias
Gracias por tu comentario, Rocío. En cuanto al numero de ensayos aconsejable, el control va a depender siempre de las unidades de obra en las que se actué. In this sense, el proyecto deberá incluir un plan de control con los ensayos y pruebas obligatorias según normativa vigente, además de aquellos controles o ensayos a realizar en las unidades de obra en las que no se pueda justificar su idoneidad mediante la aportación de distintivos oficiales de calidad. Nuestro departamento de Edification, Pathology and Rehabilitation puede asesorarte al respecto si tienes alguna duda adicional o consulta mas especifica. Un saludo.
