Product Credibility

Our certification is widely known throughout the construction industry as a symbol of quality and reassurance. It’s a vital ingredient for product manufacturers to help ensure acceptance with specifiers, building control, local authorities and insurers. We will work with you to achieve the approval of construction products through our robust test and assessment schemes.
