The British Board of Agrément, the UK’s first appointed UK Technical Assessment Body, this week issued the first UK Technical Assessment to Hilti Corporation, a multinational company that develops, manufactures and markets products for the construction, building maintenance, energy and manufacturing industries.

Confirmed recently by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), approval was granted to the BBA to roll out the issuing of UK Technical Assessments; in support of UKCA Marking.

While UKTAs are not mandatory, UKTAs will be an important channel for manufacturers to achieve the industry expected UKCA Marking.

“Being awarded the first UKTA certification by the BBA makes us very proud and further strengthening our market leading position providing high quality technical products and services to the UK market. This also contributes to a higher level of Safety and accuracy of our products and upholds our commitment to supporting the industry in building a better future.”

Rickard Bergeryd, Structural Codes & Approvals Manager/ Anchor Expert and Olga Katsanova, PLS Manager BA Fastening & Protection, Hilti Northern Europe

“We are delighted to be able to issue Hilti with their UKTA certificate. This is a big step forward in supporting our clients and the industry in getting ready for the upcoming CE to UKCA transition, enabling the BBA to respond quickly to client demands due to pressures on them to future proof their businesses”. 

John Albon, Chief Scientific Officer, British Board of Agrément
