The biggest shake-up of UK Building Regulations is well underway. Reviewing regulatory updates – and the current “Construction Products Reform” industry consultation, the direction of travel is clear. Manufacturers need to review their whole product range, ensuring that nothing will hinder their products being specified on upcoming projects.
Training, docoumentation, installation instructions, technical data sheets, marketing all needs extra work, putting manufacturers at risk without bringing in external resources.
Check your preparedness now;
- Ensure all marketing claims are backed up by firm evidence of compliance.
- Review packaging and product labelling to ensure it features the correct information.
- Robustness of digital product records and traceability.
- Undertake a review of current certification and renewal dates. Lead times for fire testing and conformity assessments will likely lengthen, so plan ahead early.
- Could your products that were tested to a legacy standard have potential issues under the latest testing regime?
The path to compliance isn’t just about a single historical test—it’s about ongoing duty-holder responsibilities and evolving certification standards.
