Safety credentials fired up in the UK

The first UK company to successfully test its Fire Systems ductwork for a period of two hours is Hargreaves, meeting the new Construction Products Regulations (CPR). As of 1st July 2013, a new harmonised European Standard was introduced to cover the manufacture of all fire rated smoke control ductwork. This standard means that all manufacturers must ensure that their products are CE marked in line with this directive. 

Hargreaves has implemented factory production control measures to ensure that its Fire Systems products, including all supports and ancillaries, are fully compliant with the latest Construction Products Regulations test standards.

In a bid to support the industry, Hargreaves’ national sales manager for Fire Systems, Shaun Byrne is presenting free ‘learn and lunch’ hour-long CPD seminars throughout the UK and Ireland. The new standard and its implications to specifiers, contractors and installers will be discussed at these sessions with supporting literature available to all attendees.

National Sales Manager for Fire Systems at Hargreaves, Shaun Byrne commented: “For over 22 years Hargreaves has been renowned for manufacturing robust non coated fire rated ductwork, allowing us to become the UK’s leading supplier of CE marked smoke control ductwork systems. To adhere to regulatory compliance, our Fire Systems have been put through a rigorous testing process.”

Byrne continued: “Not only are all Hargreaves products manufactured to the most exacting specifications, we also provide a wide variety of ductwork solutions, offering our technical support and extensive knowledge from the consultation process to installation.”

Byrne added: “At Hargreaves we are committed to continual improvement and providing the highest quality standard of ductwork for all our clients, no matter how large or small.”
