What quality assurance documentation should a supplier provide for a curtain wall system in international tenders?

Suppliers responding to international tenders for metal curtain wall systems should provide a comprehensive quality assurance dossier to establish credibility and facilitate approvals. Core documents include: certified lab test reports for structural wind, water penetration, and air infiltration (ASTM/EN/AAMA standards); fire performance and reaction-to-fire certificates (NFPA, EN tests if applicable); product data sheets with material specifications and mill certificates for aluminum, stainless steel and glazing; coating system qualifications such as AAMA 2605 or Qualicoat certificates; factory quality control procedures and ISO 9001 certification; full shop drawings and BIM models; completed full-scale mock-up reports and photographs documenting test conditions and results; on-site anchor pull-test records and weld certifications; compliance letters for local codes and any required third-party inspection records. Inclusion of a clear warranty statement covering materials and workmanship, spare-part lists, and a recommended maintenance plan enhances the tender package. For projects in the Middle East and Central Asia, adding regional references and project case studies with client contactability strengthens EEAT credentials and demonstrates local execution capability.
