Pilkington UK awarded CCPI assessment on its fire-protection range

Pilkington United Kingdom, part of the NSG Group, has become the first glass manufacturer to be awarded the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) assessment mark for its UK fire-protection range.

All products in Pilkington UK’s fire-protection range, Pilkington Pyroclear®, Pilkington Pyroclear® Plus, Pilkington Pyrodur®, Pilkington Pyrostop® have achieved the CCPI assessed mark – helping to provide greater confidence to product users that the product information for these products conforms with the CCPI. This comes as architects and specifiers face increasing pressure to prioritise occupant safety by selecting materials that enhance fire protection.

The independent third-party assessment aims to enhance the accuracy, transparency, and reliability of product information, fostering positive change across the construction industry.

Phil Brown, Technical Advisory Service Manager at Pilkington UK, said: “Fulfilling CCPI assessment for our Fire Protection glass range is a significant milestone for Pilkington UK and represents a major advancement for the glass sector as a whole, setting a higher standard for clear and accurate product information.

“For architects and specifiers, having clear and trustworthy information is vital. Product information carrying the unique CCPI assessment mark helps to give them greater confidence to make informed choices which not only benefits individual projects but also helps raise the bar for the entire built environment.  The CCPI is playing a pivotal role in driving up standards in product information and marketing and facilitating positive culture change. We’re proud to be working proactively with the CCPI to raise standards in our product information management and marketing.”

Amanda Long, Chief Executive at CCPI, said: “We’re delighted that Pilkington UK’s fire-protection range has become CCPI Assessed – helping to provide greater confidence to product users that the product information adheres to the CCPI. We are on a mission to drive a step-change in product information management and marketing. Ultimately, we aim to move the industry to a place where product information is clear, accurate, up-to-date, accessible and unambiguous”.
