Why choose a DAU certified system?

• Why choose a certified system?

One of the greatest benefits of working with a certified system is having the guarantee that this system has been tested and tested by the highest level certifying organizations such as iTeC,complying with all the requirements of Spanish regulationsof the building. This is the case of the Thermochip system that far exceeds safety and habitability standards.

This is why working with non-certified systems or products can have serious consequences, since apart from the damage that may arise from the non-certified materials used in the work, such as condensation, generation of humidity or collapse of materials; Other problems may also arise, such as those that concern the safety of people in the event of a fire.

• What is DAU certification?

The DAU is a certificate designed for innovative products and systems, which do not have a reference standard, because they are new products.

The DAU certificates ensure the quality of the products, and are the favorable opinion issued by the ITeC on the performance of the system, taking into account the design and execution criteria, and the construction solutions.

The DAU collects the benefits of the system and serves todemonstrate and ensure compliance with Spanish regulations (CTE)by innovative products and systems.

• Advantages of a DAU certification over other types of certificates.

DAU certificates specify the behavior of the system in terms of its performance relative to the different CTE documents. This involves aspects such as:

• Noise protection (DB-HR)
  • Energy Saving (DB-HE)
  • Health (DB-HS)
  • Fire safety (DB-SI)

All these characteristics regarding compliance with all sections of the technical code are verified through tests in laboratories such as Afiti licof, TECNALIA, Applus, etc.

In addition to CTE compliance, the complete enclosure system has a Passivhaus certificate, which guarantees energy performance superior to that of standard regulations.

• What guarantees does a DAU certified system give you?

From the designer’s point of view, using a system with DAU certification gives you certainty and guarantees since it includesproject criteriawith which to properly prescribe the system. In this way the architect will have the security of using a system that meets all the requirements of Spanish regulations (CTE).

If you are the end user, theguaranteesWhat a certified system offers you are both acoustic and thermal comfort, as well as maintenance (durability) and energy efficiency.

Furthermore, if you are a builder, a DAU certification gives you theexecution criteriasince this type of certification details how the certified system must be used to execute the building.

For all these reasons, using the Thermochip system with a DAU certificate offers guarantees and certainty to both the designer, the builder, the promoter and the end user,achieved the highest levels of quality and comfort.
