With the aim of giving independence to training and consultancy activities, we are pleased to introduce you ORIZON Training & Consulting, a new society of Giordano Group.
Our specialist engineers have designed and constructed a new state-of-the-art temperature and humidity chamber at our laboratory in Bellaria. Its size and specifications make it one of the finest in the country and it is designed for conditioning and heat stress testing linked to climate change of various product types from a range of sectors.
Many of our clients, including Chinese wood-based panels manufacturers (EN 13986 - VVCP 2+), have obtained the UKCA certification.
The factory production control (FPC) was assessed by our qualified auditors operating in Europe and China and, thanks to the agreement with BBA, no additional audits were necessary for obtaining the equivalent UKCA certification.
BBA recognises the CPR AVCP 1 and 2+ audits/inspections performed by Istituto Giordano for the purposes of obtaining and maintaining the corresponding UKCA certification.
Our Security & Safety laboratory has been included in the list of accredited structures by Miami-Dade County Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources and Protocol TAS 301-94
This recognition is added to the three previously obtained: NAMI, KEYSTONE and WDMA, making Istituto Giordano the Italian laboratory for windows and curtain walls testing with the highest awards in the USA.
In our Security & Safety Laboratory we perform numerous tests based on standards published by the CWCT (Centre for Window and Cladding Technology), founded in 1989 and now supported by more than 350 member companies drawn from the field of building envelopes and glazing, a sector for which it organises courses and publishes technical standards and guidance.
Progress is the world's driving force and for more than 60 years has encouraged our quest for innovation and development.
We therefore invest constantly in research and new forms of certification, in order to assist in your professional future with the right tools.
We have a new test rig!
Having designed and constructed the first wind generator in 2017, we have now built a new rig even bigger than the previous one and capable of simulating even severer weather conditions.
