Camden Glass, the glass processing division of Camden Group, is proud to announce they have passed EN1279 Part 3. Relating to the gas leakage rate of sealed units, Part 3 is particularly difficult to achieve. In passing the test, Camden is the only company in Ireland to have passed the standard and joins an elite number of companies throughout the UK to have achieved it.

Deborah Campbell, Quality Manager at Camden Glass, explains why achieving this particular standard is important for the company: "We've worked closely with Edgetech's technical team and invested significant time and resources to achieve this standard so our customers can continue to enjoy the highest specification units available. Camden is the only company in Ireland with the Part 3 element pass on BSEN 1279 so we can prove our products are better than others on the market."
