Testing and monitoring center (PÜZ)

The Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, Department of Architecture, Facility Management and Geoinformation is a recognized testing and inspection body (PÜZ body) in accordance with the state building regulations and is registered with the German Institute for Building Technology Berlin (DIBt) under the abbreviation SAN 17. The testing body is recognized for issuing general building authority test certificates (abP) for fall-protection glazing, walk-on glazing and point fixings without ball-and-socket joints in accordance with DIN 18008 Parts 3 to 6. The inspection body is recognized for monitoring the installation of point-supported, rear-ventilated wall claddings made of toughened safety glass.

The usability of unregulated construction products and types of construction must generally be verified by an approval in individual cases (ZiE) or a general building authority approval (abZ). Experimental evidence is often required as part of such approval or authorization procedures. In the field of structural glass construction and façade construction, we offer a wide range of component and material tests. These are both standard test procedures in accordance with the relevant standards and guidelines as well as special test procedures adapted to customer needs or building regulation requirements.
