CPA publishes results of industry consultation
on new Code
The Construction Products Association (CPA) has released the
results of its industry-wide consultation on the new Code for
Construction Product Information (CCPI).
The 65 page report – downloadable at www.buildingsafely.co.uk
– details feedback from 35 trade associations representing the
views of many thousands of member fi rms across the supply chain,
and 180 individual provider and user organisations of construction
product information, including most of the largest companies in the
industry.
The new Code was developed to prevent some of the issues raised
in Dame Judith Hackitt's report 'Building A Safer Future', following
the Grenfell Tower fi re. The CPA was tasked by Dame Judith Hackitt
and the Government with tackling the shortcomings identifi ed in
Chapter 7 of the report relating to product information.
The fi ndings confi rm that the industry welcomes and supports
the Code, and considers it a crucial step in the right direction.
Comments confi rmed that more clarity was needed in some areas
of the Code, particularly around the training and competence
requirements, and on what exactly was required to comply with the
di erent Clauses. The MIG spent a further two months analysing
and working through the Code so it refl ects the massive amount of
expert feedback from the consultation.
Adam Turk, Chair of the CPA's
Marketing Integrity Group and
CEO of Siderise says: "We are
delighted with the breadth and depth
of response received. The published
results are slightly later than planned but
given the importance of the Code, we wanted
to make sure all responses were included in the analysis.
Strenuous e orts were also made in reaching out to organisations
directly to ensure everyone across the industry had the opportunity
to comment."
"The overwhelming support and constructive feedback has
reassured us that the Code is absolutely the right step forward for
the industry while also giving us a lot of insightful input to enable
the MIG to review the wording of the Clauses in line with these
detailed responses," continues Adam. "Whilst changes have been
made around the clarity and detail within the Code, I can confi rm
that the eleven Clauses remain principally close to those presented
in the report."
