Sam Mac Kenzie, CSi Director and Technical Manager, and Zhang Fei, Manager, PAS-Mark Scheme, will represent CSi in Beijing in October 2026. The sessions will focus on the technical and commercial decisions overseas manufacturers should address before supplying windows, doors and curtain wall products to Australia and New Zealand.
27 October
Keynote on the technical pathway from research, testing and manufacturing through to Australian project delivery.
29 October
Regional market-entry session and a practical go-to-market round table.
Australia & New Zealand
Local standards, regulatory pathways and credible evidence for international manufacturers.
Technical requirements need attention before shipment
Successful market entry begins well before a product reaches an Australian or New Zealand project. Product configuration, intended use, test evidence, manufacturing controls, traceability and the applicable regulatory pathway need to be understood while changes remain practical.
The 27 October keynote—Entering Australia: Technical Thresholds for Windows, Doors and Curtain Wall from R&D and Testing through to Project Delivery—will examine how those requirements connect from product development to delivery.
A regional view of market entry
On 29 October, Sam will contribute to a regional session covering current market conditions, entry requirements, demand, channels and product considerations across Australia and New Zealand.
He will also join a go-to-market round table examining practical approaches to testing, technical evidence and certification. The discussion is intended to help manufacturers understand that a successful pathway depends on the product, its proposed scope and the market in which it will be supplied.
Evidence that supports credible decisions
CSi’s contribution will explain the role of controlled product-certification evidence, including the PAS-Mark pathway, without suggesting that one certificate removes every project or regulatory responsibility.
Certificates and supporting evidence must always be read for their current scope, limitations and intended use. Project-specific requirements, installation, commissioning and local approvals may continue to apply.
