Construction
testing and certification company Lucideon has forged a new partnership in
Europe to enable UK construction product manufacturers to retain access to EU
markets.

Lucideon
has joined forces with Czech Republic-based certification body TZUS to ensure
companies can seamlessly achieve a wide-range of product certifications for the
EU, whatever the outcome of the Brexit negotiations.

Offering
one of the largest construction products testing and certification services in
the UK, Lucideon has a large-scale construction laboratory on site at its
headquarters in Stoke-on-Trent, with state-of-the art testing facilities
including a significant strong-floor, heavy load lifting capabilities, 900
tonne compression loading rigs, large capacity hygrothermal testing chambers
and an indoor dynamic wind loading and wind uplifting rig.

Under
the new partnership, manufacturers can continue to deliver their products to
Lucideon’s UK site, with the company taking control of all the administration
to ensure compliance with EU requirements.

Tony
Kinsella, CEO of Lucideon, said: “We might be facing uncertain times, but we’ve
been working to ensure continuity for clients, through a cost-effective and
flexible service that will enable product certifications for the EU to be
continued.

“TZUS
is a large and well-respected certification body and the partnership will
provide a seamless service for UK construction manufacturers wanting to place
products on the EU market, regardless of a Brexit deal or no deal situation.”
