Certification of innovative construction products and systems
This project aims to create industry awareness and recommendations relating to certification requirements of new/innovative products. It aims to provide clarity and help the construction industry understand the relationship between CE Marking/ETAs/EADs, Agrément certification, BCAR and design responsibility when adopting new products / systems on projects. It will also provide clarity and help the construction industry understand the relationship around durability and inconsistencies that exists within the industry between the CPR, Irish Building Regs, NSAI, and the DoHLG requirements. It will also provide guidance or recommendations on approaches to streamline new product certification in Ireland.
