Construction product information to be reformed

The Construction Product Information Survey, launched last week is expected to reform the way construction product information is provided by manufacturers and communicated to those that use it. Insights from the survey will help to provide recommendations for manufacturers to improve the clarity of product marketing information – a key issue highlighted in the Hackitt Review following the Grenfell Tower Fire. The need for construction products to be properly labelled and marketed was one of many recommendations in the Hackitt Review. The review also made suggestions to improve building regulations and fire safety in the built environment. The survey responds directly to these recommendations.
