Sika becomes early adopter of the Code for Construction Product Information
G
lobal building product manufacturer Sika has become an early adopter of the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) which has been published to drive higher standards in the presentation of construction product information within the manufacturing industry.
A response to Dame Judith Hackitt’s independent review into Building Regulations and Fire Safety, the Code was developed by the Construction Product Association’s Marketing Integrity Group following two years’ engagement with industry. It has been created to promote an urgent and positive culture and behaviour change in the way the construction product manufacturing industry manages and provides information on its products. Globally
renowned for high quality
construction solutions and with a commitment to raising industry standards, Sika is one of the first product manufacturers to have achieved CCPI verification of its

first four product sets for Single Ply Roof systems (gained in September), Hot Melt Structural Waterproofing, Liquid-applied and Reinforced Bituminous Roof Systems. The company maintains a strong focus on transparency and by committing to the code, it will provide further independent assurance and greater confidence in the information associated to its CCPI-verified product sets. There are 11 Clauses within the CCPI assessment which cover a wide range of matters from responsibility for product information, to transparency of performance, proof of stated claims, general information and competency. The CCPI is built around five ‘acid tests’ – product information must be ‘Clear, Accurate, Up-to- date, Accessible and Unambiguous’. The 11 clauses are underpinned by a requirement to demonstrate the highest levels of integrity, ethics, leadership and culture. “We are delighted that Sika is an early adopter of the code,” said Mark Gatrell –
head of business unit roofing for Sika in the UK. “In September we announced product set verification for our Single Ply Roof Systems, and now we have the pleasure of announcing that our Hot Melt Structural Waterproofing, Liquid-applied and Reinforced Bituminous Roof Systems have now achieved verification status.” “The Code is aiming to drive the highest standards in product information, setting a level playing field for
all construction
manufacturers to ensure that the information they provide is clear, accurate, up-to- date and unambiguous. We’re proud to be working proactively with the CCPI to raise standards in product information management.”

The challenge of taking one of the world’s most iconic landmarks, the 150 years-old, Grade I listed Royal Albert Hall into the 21st century has been met by innovative and pioneering engineering solutions. Gilberts Blackpool has supported mechanical and electrical contractors Bradgate to achieve effective yet discreet ventilation of the Hall’s main auditorium – one of the most famous concert venues in the world and home of the BBC Proms. The ventilation upgrade is just part of a major refurbishment programme to preserve and protect the building to reduce the impact of ageing. Bradgate’s brief was to provide a solution that would invisibly integrate under the fl oor of the 1870’s original timber framed seating of the Rausing Circle to discharge and fi lter air via displacement without affecting the audience’s enjoyment of proceedings. Operating noise had to be kept to a minimum. Fire protection had to be optimised. Bradgate turned to Gilberts to develop a concept and product that could and would deliver. Gilberts took the basic concept of its GFS swirl fl oor diffuser and design-engineered bespoke accessories to achieve, in one easy to install unit, all the elements required.
