As a recognised mark synonymous with quality products & installations, working with an institution<br />
like the BBA offers considerable benefits to manufacturers. Opportunities to improve business<br />
profiles are particularly sought after in an increasingly competitive market place, where new products<br />
and systems are cropping up all the time.And it’s not just about Increasing sales opportunities. It’s<br />
also about greater efficiency, with a reduction in costs that can lead to more rewards for hard-working staff<br />
and Improved staff motivation. Moreover, working with a USP partner that is a recognised brand is a sign<br />
that manufacturers are committed to raising and maintaining standards for their customers, resulting in an<br />
improved profile among both existing and potential clients.<br />
UKAS accredited and fully independent, BBA Audit &<br />
Inspection has over 50 years’ experience providing first<br />
class inspection & auditing services to organisations<br />
who are committed to maintaining the quality of<br />
products and installations to meet industry<br />
standards. The BBA business unit works in two main<br />
areas: construction products (factory and installation)<br />
carries out over 6000 inspections per year within the<br />
UK, while quality management systems carryies out over<br />
2000 visits per year in over 50 countries worldwide. On<br />
the construction side, inspections cover the BBA’s own<br />
Competent Installer Scheme to supporting client<br />
initiatives and regulation schemes such as PAS<br />
2030:2017. Products covered range from energy<br />
technical monitoring and insulation to high friction<br />
services. On the management systems side, the<br />
BBA offers the main three standards: ISO9001:2015,<br />
<strong>14</strong>001:2015, 18001:2017 with EN1090 being high in<br />
number.<br />
Given the constant changes in regulations, BBA Audit &<br />
Inspection clearly plays a significant part in raising and<br />
maintaining standards across a variety of industries, to<br />
the benefit of clients, the industries they work in and ultimately<br />
the consumer.<br />
Moreover, at a time when a number of issues are coming<br />
to light as a result of badly performed or ill-advised insulation<br />
retrofits, these services are even more welcomed,<br />
not only by home dwellers and property owners, but in\<br />
particular social housing organisations whose responsibilities<br />
are to look after housing stock, usually with limited<br />
budget constraints.<br />
It has perhaps never been more appropriate for organisations<br />
like the BBA to continue to dedicate time and<br />
resource to drive up standards, ensuring the quality<br />
and safety of products and workmanship in the construction<br />
industry, for the ultimate benefit of all our built<br />
surroundings, at work and at home, and all who inhabit<br />
them.<br />
