Metsec underlines commitment to accurate product information


V


oestalpine Metsec has become one of the earliest adopters of the Code for Construction Products Information


(CCPI), introduced by the Construction Products


Association in response to


Dame Judith Hackitt’s review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety, set up following the Grenfell Tower tragedy.


CCPI assessments are undertaken by Assessors from Construction Products Information Ltd. and are carried out on a manufacturer’s specific


products and


systems, not the company as a whole. As such, an organisation or brand cannot, in itself, gain assessment or make any claims of conformance beyond a specific product set. To date,


voestalpine Metsec has


successfully achieved assessment for four of its key construction systems; SFS light gauge galvanized steel structural framing systems and Metframe pre-panelised framing system from its Framing Division, dry lining metal framed components for gypsum plasterboard

systems from its Dry Lining Division and roof, side rail and mezzanine floor systems from its Purlins Division. Alan Harris, Quality and BIM Compliance Director at voestalpine Metsec,


“Continuous investment in independent performance testing and quality assurance is what keeps our construction solutions at the forefront of the industry.


“Ensuring that the data and information


derived from these tests is conveyed in a clear, unambiguous fashion is key to providing specifiers, installers and users with more confidence in the systems’ capabilities and suitability for their projects.


Successful


assessment to the CCPI confirms we are doing things right and underlines our commitment to the industry’s needs.”


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.


voestalpine Metsec has set up a rigorous information review process to ensure that messaging from all divisions is based on accurate, verifiable data and that this information is presented in a clear and accessible manner, which can be easily found and assimilated by its intended target audience.
