−	=== Related articles on Designing Buildings Wiki. ===	+	In October 2018, the BBA launched a new scheme, the Product Excellence Programme (PEP), with the aim of providing enhanced assurance to designers, specifiers and clients regarding construction products and building solutions. The scheme has been introduced in response to heightened quality concerns post-Grenfell Tower.
		+
		+	At present, BBA management systems auditors visit client manufacturing facilities on a six-monthly basis to ensure compliance with the agreed quality plan relating to BBA-certified products. Under the new PEP scheme, a product testing regime is introduced:
		+
		+	* Complexity 1 products: Those which possess fire or structural type characteristics – will be tested annually.
		+	* Complexity 2 products: Those which do not possess fire or structural type characteristics – will be tested every three years.
		+
		+	The BBA will randomly select products of both complexities for testing during audits, and if the agreed specifications are not met they will be subject to immediate further investigation. Any companies that are not able to address the failure source will face having their BBA certificate withdrawn.
		+
		+	Existing BBA certificate-holders are to be enrolled onto PEP automatically, and certificates are to include information about PEP compliance in the future.

		+	Brian Moore, BBA deputy CEO, said:
