Steel connections get CE Marking
Lindapter has gained CE Mark
approvals for its latest range of steel
connection systems, which it said further
demonstrates its commitment to high
quality manufacturing and transparency
of product performance.
In addition to the longstanding CE Mark
approvals for Lindapter’s Girder Clamp,
Hollo-Bolt and LindiBolt, the following
products are now CE Marked: High Slip
Resistant Clamps (Types AF and AAF);
Adjustable Clamps (Types CF, D2, F9, LR,
LS, & Flush Clamp); and Floor Fixings
(Grate-Fast, FloorFast & Type 1055).
This latest announcement follows
multiple CE accreditations achieved by
Lindapter since 2011 and is said to offer
engineers an extensive range of options
for designing CE approved steelwork
connections to Eurocode 3.
The company claims that almost every
conceivable steel connection can be quickly
accomplished without on-site drilling or
welding by using Lindapter’s clamping
systems.
CE Marking provides specifiers and
contractors with the assurance that the
product will perform as declared in the
published Declaration of Performance
(DoP).
