Each system has been witnessed and certified by CWCT for wind serviceability and safety, air permeability, water penetration and soft body impact. The most recent tests for the Optima FC+, TFC+ and Edge also includes hard body impact testing.

Sotech has also completed a range of full scale fire tests on its core rainscreen cladding systems, successfully fire testing to BS8414-2 and gained BR135 classification and can therefore offer true A1 fire tested systems.

This test provides a test method for determining the fire performance characteristics of non-loadbearing external rainscreen cladding systems, fixed to and supported by a structural steel frame when exposed to an external fire under controlled conditions.

Any deviations or product substitutions from that which was tested are strictly subject to BS 9414.
