Construction roadshow to visit Belfast
A construction roadshow will visit Belfast in May to discuss how local companies will be affected by European harmonisation, as more building products gain CE marking in 2002.
Organised by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and supported by the National House Building Council (NHBC) the roadshow will examine the significance of CE marking, and will review the timetable, mechanisms and implications of changing from British Standards to the European Standards (BSEN) in addition to considering the impact of the new European Technical Approvals.
Now is the ideal time to learn more about these issues, as an estimated 60 harmonised European Standards and over 80 European Technical Approvals will be in place by the end of the year. These will replace the existing British Standards, which will eventually be withdrawn.
The roadshow, which will be visiting London, Bristol and Leeds before its arrival in Belfast on 22 May, will be of particular interest to anyone involved with application or enforcement in the fields of building regulations, fire safety and trading standards.
