From Agrément Certification and post-certification maintenance, right through to the most recent developments with UKCA Marking and the transition from CE Marking, the BBA is sharing a week’s worth of webinars to help the construction industry on two separate issues.
The first being a detailed look at how to interpret an Agrément Certificate, what it consists of and why this is important understand. An Agrément Certification is a valuable asset for not just a manufacturer but for every piece of the construction supply chain, but only if the information it holds is understood. Secondly, what happens after certification is issued and why post-certification is so important (again, for the whole industry).
In parallel to these issues, the BBA has been offering webinars over the past few months to communicate the most up to date information on UKCA Marking conformity and the wider developments of Brexit and how it could affect the industry as well as individual organisations. The three webinars running in this week-long mini-series will help you to understand what is required from you and your organisation to conform with this new Marking.
- 7th June – How to Interpret an Agrément Certificate
- 8th June – UKCA – How this is going to impact your Business
