2020-02-06T14:45:09+00:00September 17th, 2019|

Although there are some exceptions, generally speaking it is illegal to install any cable that was placed on the market on or after 1st July 2017 that is not CPR compliant. We believe that CPR class CCA is destined to become the benchmark for many commercial installations in the UK. It provides the benefits of reduced reaction to fire in tandem with the robust verification process of System 1+.

2017-10-17T14:32:47+00:00September 1st, 2017|

The burning question (no pun intended) has to be whether there will be an immediate impact on the UK’s construction industry?
