Testing & Engineering
At HIDEAWAY, we are dedicated to the safety and protection of our customers which is why our team of designers and engineers have conducted extensive research and testing to ensure our products meet the highest standards of safety and reliability.
Our assemblies are intended to be installed in place of handrails and/or guardrails and therefore are tested for compliance against the International Building Code (IBC), National Building Code (NBC) and the Ontario Building Code (OBC) requirements.
This page contains downloadable documentation as necessary for building permit compliance and information about our testing and certification process.
