Safety Standards
Testing
Stofix is certified to BS/EN 13501 & A2/S1:d0 fire safety standards. Designed and developed in the cold climate of Finland, the product contains 3% polymer (hence the A2; S1 category) so the pre-pointed and pre-mortared system can be safely and efficiently installed regardless of harsh weather conditions.
BBA Certified
The protective and aesthetic system can be mounted directly to timber, concrete and steel. (Page 10 of the BBA certificate).

Durability
When used in normal exposure conditions, our galvanised system has a 20-year warranty (BBA section 10).
Fire
The Stofix system components are Class A2; S1 as defined in the national Building Regulations (BBA section 7). Classified as ‘non-combustible’ and not subject to any restriction on building height or proximity to boundary when used on a non-combustible substrate and with non-combustible components (as per section 7.2 of the BBA certificate).
Air and water penetration
Stofix can minimise water penetration and the risk of damage to the inner wall (BBA section 8).
Strength and stability
As part of the design criteria, all system layouts are designed and supported by an engineers report to assess the requirements and structural loadings. Stofix will be designed to resist all wind actions normally encountered in the UK. (BBA section 6).
NHBC Standards
In the opinion of the BBA (page 3 of the certificate), Stofix can satisfy or contribute to satisfying the relevant requirements in relation to NHBC standards, Part 6 Superstructure (excluding roofs) and Chapter 6.9 curtain walling and cladding.
Impact Testing
The Stofix system achieved adequate impact resistance for use in ALL Impact Use Categories, I, II, III and IV, as defined by EAD 090062-00- 0404 : 2018, table G.3 (as per Page 12 of the BBA certificate).
