Did you know that from the 1st July 2014, if you are supplying non-CE marked fabricated structural steelwork (including mezzanine flooring) to a site then you are breaking the law?
CE Marking is the responsibility of the party bringing structural steelwork to the market (i.e. us your mezzanine floor provider).
Have you checked with all your suppliers that they meet these new regulations?
Penalties for non-compliance, at a minimum could result in the issue of prohibition notices, notices to warn, suspension notices and application for forfeiture. For certain offences the penalties can also include a fine, imprisonment or both.
Initially, Trading Standards will be working with any non-certified offenders to ensure compliance, but with Banks and Insurers now on board, non-CE marked goods will not be paid for and are likely to be removed and replaced and all this will be at the supplier’s expense.
CAN YOU TAKE THE RISK?
Following an intense audit from BM Trada (A World Leader in Certification) of our management and factory production processes, we are pleased to announce that our mezzanine suppliers have been granted CE certification in accordance with the requirements of EN 1090 the Technical Standard applicable to fabricated structural steelwork.
As a result, all of our customers will have the assurance that all mezzanine floors supplied by STS Storage Systems Limited will continue to satisfy the statutory requirements of the Construction Products Regulations.
Do not put yourself at risk of non-compliance!
