Guidance for ADCAS members not receiving payment for works undertaken
Business failures through 2024 and the demise of ISG brought the law regarding payment under a construction contract into sharp focus. Many association members will have been directly or indirectly affected. Following a number of calls for clarification ADCAS provides the following guidance.
ASFP Technical Guidance Document – TGD 20 BESA VG005 ADCAS TGD 01/20.08
Fire test standards and the Construction Products Regulation in relation to fire resisting ventilation and smoke control ductwork.
Following the implementation of the construction products regulations (CPR) in July 2013, it is a legal requirement to comply with any harmonised European product standard and provide tested products covered by that standard. With regards to fire resisting ventilation and smoke control duct sections not all the required standards are published and consequently this limits what can be supplied. The purpose of this Guidance document is to provide an understanding of what these limitations are, when they will change and what can individual stakeholders do in the intervening period.
