The Association “Ukrainian Manufacturers of Transparent Structures” (UMTS) reported that after the public consultation, the Working Group approved the revised version of the professional standard “Installer of window and door systems” and is preparing the document for submission to the National Qualifications Agency. Experts reviewed all proposals and unanimously supported the final text.
The public consultation began in October, when UMTS invited the window industry community to discuss the draft professional standard for installers.
The professional standard will become the basis for training specialists who work with external building envelope structures. It covers all stages of installation work — from opening preparation and installation of structures to post-warranty service. The document defines the requirements for knowledge, skills and responsibilities of specialists, and also provides two qualification pathways: training in vocational education institutions and qualification confirmation through assessment centres.
Ukrainian Manufacturers of Transparent Structures emphasises that the update of the standard aligns with the project to establish a Training and Practice Centre, where specialists will be trained according to modern industry requirements.
