FSF Product Assurance Online Workshop

ARE WE READY TO IMPLEMENT CHAPTER 7?

Further last February’s successful first workshop on taking forward the Building a Safer Future report’s recommendations to ensure the correct construction products are used in critical safety situations a second product assurance workshop is being held.

In the first workshop Dame Judith’s report recommendations to sustain the golden thread, by looking at issues around more transparent testing regimes, the role of the manufacture in providing technical support and industry’s compliance with regard to installation and conformity, were all considered.

Our attention now turns to those parts of the product cycle relating to Selection and Specification and Traceability through collaborative labelling. Introducing these crucial topic areas are Richard Harral, Technical Director, Chartered Association of Building Engineers, and Peter Capelhorn, CEO, Construction Products Association. The chair will again be taken by Chris Miles, Business Director, UL, who leads the Federation’s Product Assurance Group.

This workshop will conclude the Federation’s look at the whole product cycle – from design, testing and manufacture through specification, application and installation – which aimed to examine the effectiveness of the regime and the overall integrity of securing product safety.

Discussion will search for weaknesses and improvements to help the Federation identify its priorities for developing future actions around construction products. After each speaker there will the opportunity to ask questions, offer comment and suggest action that members might consider should be part of a new Federation policy.
