CE-Marking
Since February 1, 2010, CE marking has been mandatory for windows and exterior doors. The obligation for CE marking is regulated by the EU Directive 93/68/EEC and specific product standards. CE marking is a conformity symbol indicating that a product meets the requirements of European directives.
Standard DIN EN 14351-1
DIN EN 14351-1 pertains to windows and exterior doors made of wood and wood-aluminum, specifying the requirements for such products. The obligation for CE marking of windows and exterior doors is regulated by the harmonized standard DIN EN 14351-1. To obtain the CE marking for windows and exterior doors, manufacturers must ensure that their products meet the basic requirements for safety and performance. This involves conducting relevant tests and creating the necessary documentation, including a Declaration of Performance. The CE marking signifies that the product can be freely traded within the European Economic Area. CE-Fix generates all the required documents for you in a few minutes.
High legal certainty
VBH ensures the highest security for the CE marking of your products with CE-Fix. Instead of relying on expert opinions, we opt for verification through the esteemed institute ift Rosenheim. The quality management system guarantees that all products in our range are interchangeable and thoroughly inspected.
Calculation of UW / UD heat transfer
With our PREMIUM heat calculator, you can calculate the UW / UD values for all wooden and wood-aluminum elements. Here, too, you have the highest security because we have all verified input values and are supported by the EPH institute in Dresden. This allows you to provide all the necessary professional evidence for tenders or KfW funding. You can also perform sound calculations for elements. Additionally, we have test reports for particularly high dB values that you can use for corresponding funding.
Erste Schritte
You’re basically driving without a license!
We visited Professor Niemöller and asked him questions about CE marking. Professor Niemöller is one of the leading lawyers in construction law.

CE-Fix enables the fast and uncomplicated configuration needed to quickly obtain the required certificates. This applies in particular to the legally binding product passes. In most cases, many of your manufactured systems—or construction types—are already covered effectively by the Product Family 1 product pass. Product Family 1 covers a wide range, including single- and multi-leaf elements, fixed glazing, sloped elements, as well as elements with segmental arches or round arches. This also includes elements that contain one or more mullions or one or more transoms. Product Family 2 expands this portfolio by including all elements of Product Family 1, but additionally featuring openable mullions/transoms (stulp). By integrating further construction types with the corresponding product passes for different systems, you significantly increase your legal compliance and security.
In principle, the configuration of the product pass should be based on how you manufacture your windows or doors. The “essential components,” namely hardware, gaskets, and weather protection rails or thresholds, are subject to normative requirements. Because the system design generally represents a standard commercial system, the construction details are often not relevant enough to significantly influence the declared performance characteristics—provided that these characteristics are declared. Aspects such as construction depth, wood species, rebate geometries, frame corner joints, and glazing types do not play a central role in this context, except for performance characteristics related to thermal or sound values. However, these can be easily created or adjusted using the additional CE-Fix tools. If the details largely match your manufactured construction, this significantly increases your legal security. This is particularly beneficial when assessed or evaluated by external parties, for example in the event of a legal dispute.
When you purchase your first product pass through CE-Fix, you generally receive all the required documents for the Factory Production Control (FPC). These documents are available in the service area. Depending on the size of your company, you will find tailored FPC documents that enable you to implement and organize the FPC in your business with relatively little effort. The amount of effort required depends on the size of your company and the efficiency of your production processes and staff. Considering these variables, we have developed specific FPC templates that adapt to different company sizes. With these templates, you can implement and organize the FPC easily and promptly. It is recommended to use the FPC as a tool for a small internal quality management system, turning a formal obligation into a beneficial advantage for the company.
