The Tile Association has become a Trade Associate of the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI). This means that it has pledged support for CCPI’s goal to raise standards in construction product information and marketing and will encourage TTA members to register.

There are two separate Codes provided by CCPI, one for manufacturers and one for merchants and distributors:

• For manufacturers – including responsibility for product information, clarity of performance claims made, general information and competency
• For merchants and distributors – including requirements to have audit trails for all product information, documented sign-off process, and have a company policy in place to promote the Manufacturers’ CCPI to its suppliers

CCPI aims to aid participating companies from organising their systems to marketing their products – supporting compliance with anticipated new regulatory requirements and helping to give specifiers, clients, and others confidence regarding the information provided on the construction products they select.
