Nu-Eco Windows – Window Testing
Certified to AS2047
Tested at Ian Bennie and Associates Nata certified testing facility.
Testing shows compliance with Australian Standards AS2047, exceeding the requirements for a standard residential Window. Results show that our windows are rated to an N4 (Non-Cyclonic),C2 (Cyclonic) rating, with no water penetration at 600pa of pressure , way above the 150pa requirement in the standard. Our Multi-point locking system limited Air infiltration to 0.1 Ltrs/second, again way below the 5.0Ltr/Second in the standard.
Test Results
Deflection Test
All test readings and calculated deflections are given in Table 1 and measurement locations are indicated on Figure 1. The pressures recorded when the sample reached the maximum deflection/span ratio of 1/250 or at the maximum pressures applied were:
| Component | Pressure | Deflection / Span Ratio |
|---|---|---|
Coupler Mullion | +950 Pa -1000 Pa | 1 / 250 1 / 252 |
Transom | +950 Pa -1000 Pa | 1 / 1754 1 / 1056 |
Sash Stile | +950 Pa -1000 Pa | 1 / 1165 1 / 955 |
Air Infiltration Test
The air infiltration test assesses how much air passes through a material or system when subjected to varying pressure levels. It is essential for determining energy efficiency, durability, and airtight performance.
| Air Leakage Recorded ((L/s.m2)) | Pressure Applied (Pa) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Condition | +75 | +150 | -75 | -150 |
| Chamber & Sample (A) | 0.1 | 0.1 | -0.1 | -0.1 |
| Chamber (sample taped) (B) | NR | NR | NR | NR |
| Sample (A-B) | 0.1 | 0.1 | -0.1 | -0.1 |
NR: measurement not required
Water Penetration Test, 600 Pa
No water penetration was observed during the test.
Ultimate Strength Test: +2700 Pa & -2700 Pa
No sign of collapse was observed at either test pressure.
Conclusion
The Nu-Eco 70mm Double Glazed uPVC Window sample achieved the following ratings per Australian Standard AS2047-2014 when tested for Structural Deflection, Air Infiltration, Water Penetration Resistance and Ultimate Strength.

Our Window Profiles Have Been Tested in Australia’s Harshest Environment
Compare the returned profiles shown below with control samples that have never been exposed to sunlight (profiles with protective tape).
Conclusion
Results demonstrate the durability and UV resistance of Nu-Eco uPVC profiles under extreme Australian conditions.
Nu-Eco Windows – UV Testing
Certified to ASTM DTS4726
Tested at Allunga Exposure Laboratory and testing facility in Townsville, QLD.
Nu-Eco’s frames have been independently tested in Australia’s harshest environment (when it comes to UV exposure) and have proven to exceed the international Standard ASTM DTS4726, as well as meeting the Australian uPVC Window Alliance’s code of conduct policy.
UV Exposure Testing
- Profiles subjected to minimum of 15,000 MJ/m2 UV radiation
Strength Testing
- Charpy text conducted before and after exposure
- Ensures strength and rigidity for Australian conditions
Extended In-House Testing Since 2013
Taking it one step further, we have been conducting our own in-house testing since September 2013. A number of uPVC samples were placed on the roof of our factory facing North to maximise exposure to the sun’s harmful rays.
We currently have data from the Bureau of Meteorology suggesting that our profiles have absorbed almost double the amount of solar radiation required by the standards, with outstanding results.
We placed control samples in storage to compare against the exposed samples shown in the images.

Exposed samples vs control samples
Samples have absorbed more than double the required solar radiation exposure required by the Standard. They are compared to control samples that have never seen the sun.
The results show very little difference after more than five years of direct exposure. Under normal conditions, window profiles are generally exposed to far less radiation due to shading and positioning.
It is our opinion that the samples have the equivalent exposure of 15–20 years of normal use.
