Izotec Group adheres to German standards in its production processes
The substantial investment of over one million euros in Urban GmbH brand production equipment in 2022 not only stands as a testament to the quality of Izotec brand products but also underscores the ongoing commitment to producing goods in the Izotec Group factory that adhere to rigorous international standards – efficient, qualitative, sustainable, and error-free. Remarkably, this dedication to excellence dates back to 2004 when Izotec Group initiated a consistent journey of technological advancements and modernization, with a sole objective: delivering premium, safe, and comfortable products to our valued users.
Since 2008, Izotec brand windows and production processes within the Izotec Group have been proudly certified by the IFT Rosenheim Institute. However, as of 2019, Izotec brand products have achieved a higher level of certification, positioning Izotec Group among the select few Romanian companies boasting such esteemed recognition.
“Quality is not a coincidence”
The phrase “Quality is not a coincidence” resonates strongly with IFT Rosenheim, an independent institute that accredits products and production processes. Founded in Germany nearly six decades ago, it now operates in over 50 countries.
As Europe’s foremost window certification institute, documents issued by the IFT Rosenheim carry substantial credibility and international recognition among manufacturers, architects, resellers, builders, and public authorities.
The institute actively participates in standardization committees within the countries it operates, providing added value to dedicated manufacturers and ensuring respect for end-users.
„In collaboration with Fereastra (The Window) magazine and with the IFT Rosenheim Institute, Izotec Group has actively contributed to the creation of the first technical manual in our field, available in Romanian. Notably, Izotec Group played a pivotal role in developing the first professional window installation guide in Romania — an achievement of significant importance in our industry, given that proper installation accounts for 50% of window quality. We take pride in being aligned with European multinationals and gracing the front page of this handbook. We remain committed to setting the industry standard.“ says Ciprian Chelariu, founder of Izotec Group.
Auditors from the esteemed German institute, IFT Rosenheim, bring a wealth of experience to the field. They are meticulous, leaving no room for compromise. Annually, they visit the Izotec Group factory, conducting neutral and comprehensive monitoring and evaluation of production processes and resultant products. Moreover, to secure international IFT certification, each of Izotec Group’s suppliers (profiles, glass, hardware) must also hold certification.
Within the scope of factory production control, the following parameters are meticulously checked:
- adherence to execution instructions from the system manufacturer (Gealan / VEKA)
- proper positioning and count of drainage, ventilation and holes
- precision in cutting and welding, ensuring conformity with the design of the cut or welded profile
- compliance with welding plate temperatures, according to manufacturer specifications
- rigorous metrological verification of all measuring and control devices
- scrutiny of screw compliance with system manufacturer specifications
- configuration of quantities in line with project requirements
- execution and characteristics of reinforcement, per project specifications
- technical compliance of the glass
- presence of correction and prevention processes
- implementation of weld strength tests
Quality control for windows and doors entails rigorous testing, including mechanical durability assessments through 20,000 opening and closing cycles, as well as evaluations of mechanical resistance, air permeability and tightness during regular production tests. These measures underscore Izotec Group’s capacity and expertise in manufacturing high-quality, internationally certified windows.
“We take immense pride in having pioneered the trends in the Romanian carpentry industry. We are the first company in the country to obtain CE marking certification from the prestigious IFT Rosenheim Institute in Germany. The first CE-marked window in Romania rolled off the production line here, in Piatra Neamț. This is not just any mark; it’s certified by the most respected European window testing institute — the true pioneers of this industry. Year after year, they affirm that we rank among the top 10% of window manufacturers, encouraging our expansion into the German market. This signifies that our products can now find homes across European markets, not just in Romania. Every year, a team from Germany inspects our production processes, scrutinizing everything from small screws to our supplier certifications”, emphasizes Ciprian Chelariu, the founder of Izotec Group.
