LPCB certification and Kingspan
[edit] BRE publishes update on its decision to withdraw certification from Kingspan in August 2022.
Update from BRE
Following BRE's decision last year to end its commercial relationship with Kingspan, BRE now confirms that all existing Kingspan products that were previously listed on RedBookLive have been recertified.
This recertification only applies to Kingspan Insulated Panels, Euroclad Group, Paroc and Joris Ide. These four companies in the Kingspan Group were the only companies in receipt of BRE certification and the only companies affected by the withdrawal.
Beyond these measures, designed to ensure an unbroken certification chain for all previously certified products, BRE will not carry out any new work with Kingspan Group companies.
Kingspan's LPCB Certificates were previously withdrawn as a result of BRE's decision to no longer carry out new business with Kingspan Group companies. BRE says it is not aware of any quality or compliance issues with Kingspan products in so far as certification by BRE is concerned.
This article appears on the CIAT news and blog site under the same title and is based on the BRE Press Release "LPCB Certification and Kingspan" dated September 8, 2023
