SIMONSWERK, Europe’s leading hinge manufacturer is pleased to announce it has received UKCA (United Kingdom Conformity Assessed) approval for the TECTUS concealed hinge system.
The TECTUS range is the only UKCA approved multi-axis concealed hinge currently on the market.
The UKCA mark is the new UK product marking that covers goods which previously needed EU CE marking. The new mark applies in England, Scotland and Wales (Great Britain), while CE marking will continue to be recognised in Northern Ireland. This latest certification will allow SIMONSWERK to remain a market leader and be at the forefront of compliance and quality.
Robin Guy Managing Director commented:
“We reacted quickly to the changes in the market when the initial deadline was January 2023. Although this has now been extended to June 2025, for us it is such good news to have a fully-compliant product ahead of the UCKA deadline.
“We now offer our Brass range and TECTUS range of hinges which are both tested to CE and UKCA standards.”
SIMONSWERK is Europe’s leading hinge manufacturer with a history spanning more than 130 years in the production of brass, aluminum and stainless-steel hinges for doors and windows. The range includes the renowned fully concealed TECTUS hinges and the popular TRITECH solid brass hinge with concealed bearings.
