Cladding companies achieve SCI quality mark

SCI has awarded its quality assurance SCI Assessed mark to four leading companies; Corus Panels and Profiles; Tegral Metal Forming; Euroclad, and CA Building Products.

Each company has had new cladding profile load tables developed to Eurocode 3 by SCI, and the process was supported by Corus Colors as part of its commitment to key customers.

The SCI assessment scheme was launched in 2006, to help innovative products and services achieve market acceptance. The quality mark testifies that manufacturers’ technical data has been independently verified by SCI.

The scheme covers the reliability of the range of performance data offered by suppliers such as safe load tables and other similar data used by the product specifiers.

Dr Martin Heywood, Senior Manager, SCI Construction Technology, said: “SCI Assessed gives manufacturers a cost effective way to differentiate their product in a highly competitive marketplace; equally it gives those purchasing technical products and services  added independent assurance.”
