Under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR), new legal obligations have been placed on manufacturers; distributors and importers of construction products used within the UK. All products covered by a harmonised standard now have to be CE Marked. This applies not only to constituent products (such as steel beams, bolts etc), but also to fabricated elements and systems made from UKCA Marked products. In the UK, penalties for non-compliance include; suspension notices, prohibition notices, notices to warn and application for forfeiture. For certain offences the penalties may include a fine, imprisonment or both.
The harmonised standard covering fabricated structural steelwork is BS EN 1090: Execution of steel structures and aluminium structures.
The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) marking is a new UK product marking that is used for goods being placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland). It covers most goods which previously required the CE marking, known as ‘new approach’ goods. This allows you as a customer to compare information between manufacturers, as well as being assured that the UKCA marked products comply with all necessary performance standards.
UKCA marked products ensure you’re getting the very best quality product that will last.
