Product Testing and Declaration – What You Need to Know

Introduction:
Product declarations are more than a technical formality. Under the CCPI framework, they’re essential to making honest and accurate choices when selecting building materials.

What is a Product Declaration?
A product declaration details the performance of a construction product. This might include:

  • Fire resistance
  • Wind load capacity
  • Thermal transmittance (U-values)
  • Acoustic rating
  • Environmental credentials

What Makes a Declaration Compliant?

  • Evidence-based: Supported by testing from accredited laboratories
  • Accessible: Available before purchase
  • Specific: Tailored to the product’s intended application

Our Policy at Architectural Systems Ltd:
We make sure every product or service we market is supported by full technical documentation. This includes test certificates, performance benchmarks, and expert review.

Conclusion:
Trustworthy declarations reduce the risk of non-compliance and support safer, smarter decisions throughout the build process.
