Understanding Our Certifications and what they mean for you
Understanding Our Certifications and what they mean for you
When it comes to construction products, certifications are more than just logos on
a datasheet; they’re independent proof of performance. They demonstrate that a
product has been rigorously tested, verified, and approved to meet recognised
safety, quality, and compliance standards.
At Intelligent Membranes, we believe transparency matters. That’s why we invest
heavily in third-party testing and certification. Below is a clear breakdown of what
our key certifications mean for you, your project, and your peace of mind.
BBA Certification
The British Board of Agrément (BBA) is one of the UK’s most respected certification bodies
for construction products and systems. Achieving BBA certification means our products
have undergone extensive independent testing and assessment, including performance,
durability, installation, and long-term reliability, all in line with UK Building Regulations.
What it means for you:
Confidence that the product performs exactly as specified, supported by independent UK
testing. It also provides reassurance to building control, insurers, specifiers, and warranty
providers that you’re using a fully approved solution.
KIWA Certification
KIWA is a globally recognised testing, inspection, and certification organisation, operating
across construction, infrastructure, and energy sectors. KIWA certification evaluates
product quality, consistency, performance, and compliance with both UK and
international standards.
What it means for you:
Assurance that our products meet strict global benchmarks for quality and reliability,
making them suitable for projects both in the UK and internationally, without
compromise
Passivhaus Certified
Passivhaus is widely regarded as the gold standard for energy-efficient building design.
For a product to achieve Passivhaus certification, it must be independently tested and
proven to support the extremely low energy demands, airtightness levels, and thermal
performance required by the Passivhaus standard.
What it means for you:
You can specify our products with confidence on Passivhaus and other high-performance
projects, knowing they actively contribute to airtightness strategies, reduced energy
consumption, and long-term building efficiency.
Warrington Fire Certification
This certification validates the fire performance and safety compliance of our systems through independent testing. It ensures our solutions meet stringent fire resistance and reaction-to-fire standards, providing confidence in both regulatory compliance and occupant safety.
WUFI® Analysis
WUFI analysis allows us to model real-world moisture and thermal behaviour within building assemblies. This ensures long-term durability, reduced condensation risk, and performance consistency—particularly critical for airtight and energy-efficient buildings.
Fire Rated
Fire-rated certification means our products have been tested under controlled laboratory
conditions to assess their reaction to fire. This includes evaluating flame spread, fire
propagation, and smoke development in accordance with recognised fire safety
standards.
What it means for you:
Enhanced safety, improved compliance with fire regulations, and added reassurance that
the products you’re using are designed to help protect both buildings and the people
inside them.
Why These Certifications Matter
Certifications aren’t just a formality, they’re a commitment. They represent our
dedication to quality, safety, performance, and accountability. Independent certification
gives you verified evidence that our products do what we say they do, consistently and
reliably.
By choosing Intelligent Membranes, you’re choosing products that have been tested,
proven, and trusted by recognised authorities across the construction industry, helping
you deliver compliant, high-performing buildings with confidence.
