Distributors
The distributor is the point of supply for many
building products and this carries with it certain
responsibilities. Distributors should ensure that the products they
supply are fit for purpose and meet regulatory requirements. This
is easy to see in Agrément Certificates, perhaps more difficult
using alternative methods. This is especially important for
products coming from overseas, that may have been manufactured with
another market in mind. With no UK source of production or
technical back-up , the distributor may struggle to obtain the
necessary technical information to overcome a problem on site or
with acceptance of the product by UK specifiers, purchasers or
building control.
Distributors wishing to sell BBA approved products under their
own label can do this through the BBA's Reproduction process.
