SCCS board members wanted

The British Constructional Steelwork Association (BCSA) is seeking new Certification Board members for its Steel Construction Certification Scheme (SCCS).

The Steel Construction Certification Scheme (SCCS) is a certification body focused on clients engaged in the design, manufacture and installation of structural steelwork and its associated products and services.

The objective of the scheme is to secure high standards of excellence and quality across the whole of the steelwork industry through independent certification.

SCCS is UKAS Accredited, and provides certification of:

• Quality Management Systems to BS EN ISO 9001
• Environmental Management Systems to BS EN 14001
• Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems to BS OHSAS 18001
• Factory Production Control to BS EN 1090-1
• National Highways Sector Schemes 19A, 20 and 3

SCCS is governed by a Certification Board made up of voluntary industry representatives, including construction clients, engineers, and steelwork contractors.

The board, which meets twice a year in London, is looking to recruit new members with an interest in certification, the construction sector and structural steelwork to help govern the Scheme.
