Specialist certification body, Certass, has launched its key partner programme, which it says involves working with system suppliers and fabricators to bring even more support to local installers.
The key partner scheme reportedly follows a pilot with Eurocell that was launched last year. According to Certass, this resulted in the industry’s only solid conservatory roof certification scheme to installers of the Equinox warm roof system.
Jon Vanstone, chairman at Certass, explained: “Our key partner programme will add even more value to our Certass members. By working together with systems companies and fabricators, we can offer practical support that doesn’t just help installers with compliance, it also gives them access to technical expertise that helps develop their skills and grow their businesses.
“Between the industry’s systems companies, component suppliers and fabricators, there is an impressive wealth of knowledge and expertise that is really valuable to installers. Our programme will bring them together, so that installers can take advantage of that knowledge and get real practical support.”
The Equinox roof certification scheme is said to have proven popular with installation companies. Certass offers support to events for local installers, like the Equinox installation training morning organised by Derby-based fabricator, Frame Fast UK.
Jon added: “We want to join with more fabricators and systems companies, to bring installation companies our unique CQ-assured certification scheme with exclusive access to both technical and practical support.”
