H+H - Int

The development of European standards is a part of the European Union’s Construction Products Directive to which the UK has signed up to implement. The aim of the directive is to allow free passage of construction materials within the EU, making it easier to trade products across Europe and removing any technical barriers.

This process covers all construction materials and products. One of the other key aims of the directive is to allow any products that existed before the implementation to be able to continue to do so. European standards for products are due to take over from all national standards, for example British Standards (which will be phased out after a transitional period).

The most visible sign of the new European Standards will eventually be the CE marking of all products. For the next few years at least, CE marking will not be a legal requirement of product trading within the UK and Ireland and it remains optional. However, H+H UK has taken the option to CE Mark, since it is the mark of conformity with our European standard and it denotes that our products satisfy certain requirements within European law.
