Following a company-wide investment in new systems and resources, voestalpine Metsec has adopted the Code for Construction Products Information (CCPI).
Introduced by the Construction Products Association, the CCPI was created in response to Dame Judith Hackitt’s review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety, set up following the Grenfell Tower tragedy.
The company has now achieved verification with the CCPI for several of its construction solutions, the latest of which is light steel framing systems.
Chris Holleron, Sales Director for voestalpine Metsec’s Framing Division, said: “SFS has been the construction industry’s leading steel framing system for years, enjoying a reputation for independently verified performance and quality.
“This is backed up by dedicated design and sales support which ensures that we deliver effective, value-engineered solutions that meet our customers’ requirements. Our messaging has always been founded on open, honest presentations of our capabilities and the recent CCPI verification is testament to this. It will give specifiers and customers even greater confidence when choosing SFS.”
CCPI aims to address the stipulation from Dame Hackitt’s review that construction product information needs to be communicated in a clear and accurate way. Its aim is to help organisations drive for higher standards in the presentation of construction product information, with a priority on building safety.
CCPI verifications are undertaken by Verifiers from Construction Products Information and are carried out on a company’s specific products and systems, not the company as a whole. As such, an organisation or brand cannot gain verification or make any claims of conformance beyond a specific product set.
Alan Harris, Quality and BIM Compliance Director at voestalpine Metsec, said: “We pride ourselves on being the best in the markets in which we operate. Independently verified product performance is a key factor in maintaining our position at the forefront of our industry and CCPI verification provides specifiers and customers with added confidence of in the veracity of our product information.
“Our formal internal processes review all performance statements before they are released for external use, whether these be in technical, sales or marketing activity. The system ensures that the product performance statements we make are as clear and accurate as possible.”
