ChromoGenics succeeds in ISO 18543:2021 test with ConverLight® Dynamic
ChromoGenics has successfully passed the important ISO 18543:2021 test. The company’s product, ConverLight® Dynamic, demonstrated outstanding durability in the challenging aging test. The ISO 18543 test is designed to assess electrochromic glass in buildings by subjecting them to high UV intensity, high temperature, and frequent switching between transparent and dark states. After 5000 hours of continuous use and 30,000 cycles, ConverLight® Dynamic passed the test, equivalent to over 20 years of normal use. The test was conducted by RISE as an independent third party from July 2022 to March 2023. The positive result confirms the durability and quality of ChromoGenics’ products. The company sees this as an important technical milestone and a step towards collaborating with high-quality companies in the glass industry.

ChromoGenics continuously performs several thorough tests in order to ensure product quality and sustainability. This means that our products provide full warranties for long-term customer satisfaction. Tests are being performed within the following areas:
Light and temperature
To determine optics and temperature properties, the spectral properties are measured to calculate the optics and temperature data of the different glass configurations.
Dynamic function
The test matrix used to evaluate the dynamic (electrochromic) function is based on internally developed tests and international test standards (ISO standards). Internal tests are accelerated tests developed to show at least 20 years of service life. The internal tests have been developed in consultation with experts in lifetime tests for electrochemical systems.
Mechanical strength and durability
The electrochromic glass is tested according to international standards for laminated safety and security glass. Our dynamic glass has been tested according to EN ISO 356 and fulfills the requirements for class P4A. The tests have been performed by RISE-SP.
Sound
The sound reducing properties have been tested externally at RISE-SP.
ChromoGenics works in accordance with ISO 9001 (quality management system) and ISO 14001 (environmental management system). The products are handled and approved according to Byggvarubedömningen.
The environmental impact of the product is secured in EPD (Environment product declaration). Destruction of the product is certified in cooperation with Swede Glass United.
