The chain of custody of a construction product is only as strong as its weakest link. It is necessary for all those involved in the supply chain to adhere to their legal obligations under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR).
It is also important that the following are fully aware and informed of the performance requirements for aggregate concrete blocks regarding their end use in the construction of works or a building:
- specifiers
- designers
- builders
- certifiers
- end users
This guidance aims to facilitate clearer communication within the supply chain regarding the declared performance of essential characteristics, having regard to national provisions in Ireland.
Through clearer communication within the supply chain, specifiers, designers, builders, certifiers and end users should be more informed when specifying and choosing aggregate concrete blocks that are:
- fit for intended use
- suitable for the conditions in which they are to be used.
Appropriate specifications and choices will help secure compliance with the Building Regulations 1997 to 2021.
