This demand, combined with our commitment to provide transparency to our customers and confidence in supply chains, made it pertinent that we seek out and achieve the assessment for our product categories.
‘We are proud to be one of many manufacturers committed to higher standards in construction product information, marketing, and product claims. The CCPI is playing a pivotal role in driving up standards and facilitating positive culture change, and we’re working proactively with the CCPI to raise standards in our product information management and marketing.’
Amanda Long, chief executive of CCPI, said: ‘We’re delighted that wienerberger UK-manufactured bricks and pavers have become CCPI Assessed. Accurate and transparent product information is essential for building safety, and this achievement highlights wienerberger’s commitment to supporting safer construction practices.’
In addition to providing clear product information, CCPI also helps with compliance and anticipated new regulatory requirements, ensuring that those with the assessment remain agile to ongoing changes within the industry.
