Exporting windows & doors to Australia?
SIIGMATIC helps overseas manufacturers understand and coordinate the testing, energy-performance and industry requirements that sit between a good product and a credible Australian market launch.
Passing one test is not
the whole market-entry plan.
Manufacturers new to Australia commonly need to understand product testing, energy-performance documentation, the way local builders and specifiers read reports, and the role of industry bodies such as the Australian Glass and Window Association (AGWA).
SIIGMATIC is based in Melbourne and works within the Australian window and door industry. We can help define what applies to your product, coordinate the technical work and assist with the documentation and application steps relevant to your chosen route to market. Our local industry relationships and familiarity with how Australian builders and architects use compliance reports can also shorten the learning curve for a new entrant.
From overseas system
to Australian evidence.
The exact pathway depends on the product and claims you intend to make. A typical engagement may include:
Product & market review
Understand the window / door system, intended applications and Australian route to market.
Testing plan
Define the AS 2047 or other physical testing needed for the product family and intended ratings.
Energy performance
Scope WERS, standalone U-Value / SHGC reporting or other thermal-performance work relevant to the market.
Industry applications
Assist with preparing and submitting the technical information required for relevant industry association applications such as AGWA where appropriate.
Local-use documentation
Prepare clear technical reports and help translate the results into information Australian builders, architects and system customers can use.
Australian reports need to work
for Australian readers.
Our role is not simply to hand back a laboratory number. SIIGMATIC works with window and door manufacturers, local builders, architects and product teams, so we understand the practical questions that arise after testing: what does the report prove, how will it be specified, and what is still required before the product is market-ready?
That context also helps the team explain how window U-Values and SHGCs are interpreted in residential energy assessments.
Your time in Australia
should be well planned.
For international clients especially, preparation matters. We explain specimen delivery, PPE, attendance, the testing plan and what to expect before the booked day.
One company at a time
Private booked laboratory access helps protect confidential product development and keeps the programme focused.
Pre-test briefing
Know the practical requirements, test sequence and specimen preparation before you arrive.
Dedicated client suite
Kitchenette, fridge, bathroom, viewing window and camera feeds while testing proceeds.
Experienced local team
Technical personnel who can explain both the test and the Australian context around it.
Useful distinctions
before you start.
What testing does an overseas window manufacturer need for Australia?
The exact testing depends on the product and intended claims. AS 2047 performance testing commonly forms an important part of the evidence for windows and external glazed doors, while energy-performance and other requirements should be scoped separately for the product and market pathway.
Can SIIGMATIC help with WERS and AGWA applications?
Yes. SIIGMATIC can assist with the technical testing and energy-rating work and help prepare and submit information for relevant industry association application processes such as AGWA where appropriate. Final acceptance or membership decisions remain with the relevant body.
Can we get U-Value and SHGC results before deciding whether to submit to WERS?
Yes. A standalone SIIGMATIC energy performance report can provide whole-product U-Value and SHGC analysis using the applicable AFRC / NFRC procedures without automatically submitting the product to WERS.
What support is available when we travel to Australia for testing?
SIIGMATIC provides pre-test preparation, a private one-company-at-a-time booking format, a dedicated client suite with kitchenette and bathroom facilities, viewing and camera access, and experienced technical personnel during the booked programme.
