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:

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. “
