BBA Certificate 11/4853

The BBA is the UK’s major authority offering approval of construction products, systems and installers. We are glad to announce the update of the ClassicBond British Board of Agrément Certificate. ClassicBond certificate number 11/4853, this is the only 1.14mm EPDM on the market have this well-known accreditation in its name.

For the distributor is the point of supply for many building products and this carries with it certain responsibilities. Distributors should ensure that the products they supply are fit for purpose and meet regulatory requirements. This is easy to see in Agrément Certificates, perhaps more difficult using alternative methods. This is especially important for products coming from overseas that may have been manufactured with another market in mind. Some with no UK source of production or technical back-up , the distributor may struggle to obtain the necessary technical information to overcome a problem on site or with acceptance of the product by UK specifiers, purchasers or building control. ClassicBond membranes offer all the accreditation, technical backup and years of flat roofing installation and marketing that you will require.

The advantage of this for the contractor being if work is to be inspected by building control, the NHBC or any other industry professionals, the use of approved products should avoid any problems with compliance with Building Regulation or other issues. The BBA works closely with regulatory authorities throughout the UK as well as with housing warranty bodies to ensure Agrément Certificates are accepted nationwide. This will also give your customer another reason to choose you and the roofing membrane you offer over other roofing systems.

For the end customer the BBA’s role is to protect the ultimate consumer (e.g. the householder or those occupying buildings) by providing reassurance to users, designers, insurers and regulators. We do this by issuing Agrément Certificates to manufacturers of construction products and systems and assessing the competency of the installers of many of these. Why choose a product that hasn’t been tested?
