As a market leader in bringing high-quality products and systems to the roofing and construction industry, Bauder is leading the way again, by adopting the new Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) across our roofing portfolio to have information verified for accuracy and clarity to ensure specifiers can rely on the data when selecting a Bauder solution.
The CCPI was initiated by the Construction Product Association (CPA) as a direct response to Dame Judith Hackitt’s review of Building Regulations and Fire safety setup in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy. It was created to promote an urgent and positive change in the way the construction product manufacturing industry manages and provides information on its products.
By achieving conformance, specifiers and contractors that use Bauder systems with a CCPI mark can recognise that any claims made about them have been independently assessed and verified across 11 clauses, bringing a greater level of confidence across the supply chain. This provides greater clarity on product information so that the right systems are more easily selected in the right application. All records are also maintained for product tracing and system assurance.
The objective of the code is that any claim made about a construction product or system must be substantiated by appropriate, clear, and unambiguous evidence. It will help restore trust and help the construction specification process to be safer and more robust. Together with the Building Safety Bill, it can also help make buildings safer.
Product manufacturers apply to Construction Product Information Limited (CPI), (who are the custodians of the code), for verification of their products or systems, and successful applicants must demonstrate their conformance to the relevant clauses of the code for these products/systems.
The code comprises 11 clauses covering a wide range of matters from responsibility for product information to accuracy and clarity of performance claims, general information, and competency of those involved in product information.
It helps to create a level playing field for manufacturers of all sizes and type, ensuring that the information provided to specifiers, contractors, installers, and other users of information pass five crucial acid tests. All clauses must be adhered to in order to successfully obtain a CCPI verification for product sets, and for product and system information these must be,
- Clear
- Accurate
- Up-to-date
- Accessible
- Unambiguous
