In December 2009, Wolf Systems UK, based in Coventry, were awarded approval from the British Board of Agrément (B.B.A.) to C.E mark its 1.0mm and 1.25mm nailplates in accordance with EN 14545 – 2008.
As such, Wolf Systems customers will now be able to C.E. mark their trussed rafters provided their manufacturing processes have been certified by a suitably approved notified body.
Whilst C.E. marking of construction products is not currently compulsory in the U.K. and Ireland, it is required should those products be exported to other European countries.
C.E. marking in general though, importantly attests to the quality and production control procedures a manufacturer has invested in and demonstrates to existing and prospective customers, the importance a manufacturer places on the quality of their products.
Wolf Systems will shortly be introducing new nailplate box designs which will carry the C.E. mark and certification reference.
