How to check when double glazing was installed?

The property I am interested in has double glazing and I am trying to work out its age. I went on the FENSA website and can see it had some new glazing in 2003, however I think they had a patio door installed more recently. I am sure I found a link on this forum somewhere that took me to another certification body which had details on the patio door install but I cannot remember the link. Where else can new windows be registered apart from via FENSA?

Why do you need to check?0

Because I have a feeling the newer patio door may be under warrantee and it is also nice to know the age of things you are buyingGrizebeck said:Why do you need to check?0 -

Ask them when you are in the process of buying the house0 -
Why don't you just ask them? I can't see that it matters much though.womble12345 said:

If you find it hasn't got the required FENSA certificate, you need to take a view on what you do and who you tell. The result might be that unnecessary indemnity insurance has to be paid for.
(Or, alternatively, you might feel that a structural engineer needs to look at it.)
