Complex Mandatory Standards: Australia has detailed regulations on window and door performance, covering thermal insulation (e.g., U-value requirements vary by climate zone, with lower heat transfer coefficients needed in tropical areas), water tightness, air tightness, wind pressure resistance (to cope with frequent strong winds), and fire ratings (required in certain areas). The Building Code of

China has a large door and window market with high-quality products and strong international demand. Chinese doors and windows are exported to countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. So, how can Chinese manufacturers effectively collaborate with clients in Australia?

Basic Performance Certification: Must comply with AS 2047 standards, covering wind pressure resistance (up to 1.5kPa), air tightness (≤2.5m³/(m·h) leakage at 75Pa), and water tightness (no leakage at 150Pa). Agencies like Intertek offer one-stop services including testing, factory audits, and energy assessments. The certification process takes about 4–8 weeks, with costs ranging from RMB 10,000

I. Logic of Building the Research Framework: Centered on “Demand – Supply – Constraints”Market research in Australia’s windows and doors industry should be built on a closed-loop logic that revolves around three core elements: the essence of market demand, the capacity of supply-side matching, and the boundaries of external constraints.

Amplifying Effect of Labor CostsThe average hourly wage in Australia’s construction industry is around AUD 45. Installation services account for 30%–40% of total costs. For example, a standard-sized (1.5m × 1.8m) double-glazed aluminium window may cost about AUD 400 in materials, while installation can reach AUD 300–450. For non-standard custom windows (e.g. arched designs), labor
