New Part Q Manual
22nd November 2016

In-house technical experts at Liniar have reviewed the legislative requirements for Document Q compliance and produced a guide for its fabricator customers.

The Liniar Part Q Manual uses detailed illustrations and instructions to explain how to achieve compliance for every Liniar product in the range. The full-colour document makes it easier for Liniar fabricators to ensure compliance with Part Q security regulations for windows and doors, as well as helping them build their own products for testing.

The strict requirements of Document Q refer to all easily accessible windows and doors installed within new build dwellings and flats in England, together with excepted energy buildings in Wales – including extensions to existing properties and material change of use of a building, or part of it.

Liniar Technical Manager Paul Garforth said: “We’ve already undergone the rigorous process of testing,” he explains, “so the new guide has been designed to save our customers time, cost and effort - providing they use the exact same components we used in testing.

“In many instances this will mean that no further testing is required – so all fabricators need to do is request a copy of the PAS 24 test certificate for each of the product types, which can then can be used to show compliance.

“Of course, if customers also wish to carry out their own product testing, perhaps with slightly different components, then the multi-purpose details within the new manual may also be used for guidance in this situation.”
