CE Marking Update

Joinerysoft have been working with UK notified bodies to include CE marking within JMS in time for the 1st July 2013 deadine.

Customers of Joinerysoft who are up to date with their support and maintenance can look forward to receiving CE marking as a free upgrade before 1st July 2013.

NOT up to date with support and maintenance? Call us now on +44 (0) 01608 433302 to discuss upgrading options.

The requirement to CE mark external timber windows and doors will become mandatory on 1^st July 2013.

CE marking is a key indicator of a product’s compliance with EU (European Union) legislation and enables the free movement of products within the European market. CE marking confirms that a product satisfies the legislative requirements, e.g. a harmonised level of safety, to be sold there. It means that the manufacturer has verified that the product complies with all relevant essential requirements, eg health and safety requirements, of the applicable directive(s) or, if stipulated in the directive(s), had it examined by a notified conformity assessment body.

The CE mark is specified by the EU but refers to the relevant country’s regulations. Within the UK this enforces compliance with Building Regulations (Part L), which is applicable for all external windows and doors covered by the legislation. Within the UK the legislation will be enforced by Trading Standards, NOT building regulations.

CE Marking will affect ALL joinery manufacturers. DO NOT think that because you make a one off window or door that you will not have to CE mark. This is not true.

If an item requires a U-value then it also needs a CE mark.

Some joinery companies are still not providing u-values or the correct u-value, which relate to building regulations – Part L. This stipulates (since October 2010) that external windows need to have a u-value of 1.6 for a renovation project (or 2 in a new build) and external doors require a u-value of 1.8. If you are currently just calling the local glazing company for the u-value of the glass this is not the same as the overall u-value. The overall u-value is based on the following; type of timber, centre pane u-value and the Psi value of the spacer bars (see below). It is likely although not confirmed that u-values will be lowered in April 2014.

If a u-value is not required due to conservation exclusion then CE marking will not be required either.

Most ‘Bespoke’ windows WILL require a u-value as they are not truly bespoke. (Truly bespoke windows will be exempt from requiring u-value and therefore CE marking.)

How do you get CE marking? Why bother? What next?

Are you complying with Part L energy ratings?

From the 1 October 2010, Part L of the Building Regulations for England and Wales for the Conservation of Fuel and Power changed. From this date all new and replacement windows and door installations need to comply with the revised regulations.

Joinerysoft has simplified this process for you. Our software now automatically generates U Values for you for all custom windows, doors and screens. We are working with the British Woodworking Federation to certify our software so that you can meet the new regulations with ease.

Facebook and JMS software provide a modern approach for RL Joinery

Robin Carter of RL Joinery believes that having software is important in today’s competitive market and provides him with the skills he needs to keep ahead and grow the business. He adds, “The speed in which I can now quote means that I am able to quote more and therefore win more orders. The improved efficiency through the workshop with JMS also means that I can complete more jobs.”

JMS leads to 20% increase in sales

Simon Phillips of Oakleigh Joinery says, “I was missing out before I purchased JMS. I like the speed and efficiency and versatility of the software." Adding, "The software works brilliantly for my high performance windows and I don't know how I would supply u-values without JMS."

Causeway Joinery choose JMS software for bespoke joinery

Keen to see the business moving forward, Paul has in the last 12 months invested in Joinerysoft’s Joinery Management Software for quoting and manufacturing as well as a Trend window system which links to it. After a demonstration by Joinerysoft he could see that not only would it quote large jobs quickly, the software would also handle the custom joinery that was key to their business. Paul explains, “We do all bespoke work, including windows, doors, stairs and kitchens. No two jobs are ever the same and sometimes every item in the job is different too. We need software that can handle the variety of joinery that we produce but also quote quickly.”

Joinerysoft benefits A Dee Kay Joinery

Though initially hesitant to purchase quoting software when David Lennon, Director of A Dee Kay Joinery viewed the improvements to Joinerysoft's JMS (Joinery Management Software) he was so impressed that he decided to purchase it immediately.

Laverack Joinery saves time with JMS

Purchasing Joinerysoft's Joinery Management Software (JMS) nearly two years ago, Robert Laverack owner of Laverack Joinery Ltd acknowledges that though it seemed a big step at the time, two years on he wouldn't let anyone take the software away from him.

Professional quotes provide clarity for Fletcher Joinery

Peter Fletcher of Fletcher Joinery comments, “I am very happy with JMS and have been for many years. I bought the software because it is versatile enough for our bespoke joinery, providing detailed diagrams and an effective method of presenting joinery items in a professional manner. JMS still saves us a significant amount of time both in the workshop and in the office and the professional approach has won us work.”

Joinerysoft speeds up quoting for Oakwood Joinery Services Ltd

Keen to install software that would provide efficient processes within Oakwood Joinery Services Ltd, owner Malcolm Rogerson chose Joinerysoft’s Joinery Management Software (JMS) which provides a complete package from initial enquiry right through to delivery. The company has noticed a considerable improvement in their quoting ability which is now fast and efficient for all custom made joinery.

"Joinerysoft has a really good relationship with its customers and works with us to tackle any new challenges we throw at them to get the best product available."
Gowercroft

"JMS has definitely helped us to win orders - no question at all, by the speed of quoting and professional presentation."
