CCF Passes CCPI Assessment for Merchants and Distributors

NATIONWIDE distributor of insulation and interior building products CCF has passed the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) Assessment for Merchants and Distributors.

The CCPI was created in response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy and the construction industry’s subsequent need to improve the way product information is managed and communicated. The CCPI aims to raise standards in the management, marketing and advertising of product information and facilitate a culture of transparency, with specific criteria for best practice set out for manufacturers, merchants and distributors.

CCF was assessed and found to have the necessary product information processes and systems in place to uphold the CCPI, and that the company is committed to diligently adhering to the CCPI and to proactively promoting and supporting the adoption of the CCPI with its suppliers. The CCPI Mark for Merchants and Distributors does not indicate that any particular product information conforms with the CCPI or constitutes any statement as to a product’s compliance with any standards of quality or safety.

As part of the CCPI Assessment for Merchants and Distributors, CCF also had to demonstrate that its employees are fully supported and aware of what needs to be done to continuously improve product information and to keep the distributor’s product information up-to-date and unambiguous.

CCF Passes CCPI Assessment

CCPI assessment requires a commitment to continuous improvement and, looking ahead, CCF will be regularly reviewing its internal processes and how the company works with its manufacturing partners to raise standards in the information the distributor shares with its customers.

Commenting, CCF Managing Director Catherine Gibson said: “Through collaboration within CCF’s different internal departments, headed up by our product category, technical and marketing teams, and by providing relevant colleague training, we are now in an even stronger position to support our customers with reliable product information to help them select the right products for their projects.

“We are proud to have passed the CCPI Assessment for Merchants and Distributors and as an organisation, we are committed to proactively working with the CCPI to raise standards in product information and continuously improve the product information we supply.”
