A new partnership has been agreed to allow UK construction product manufacturers to retain product certifications for the EU regardless of the Brexit outcome.

Construction testing and certification company Lucideon has partnered with Czech Republic-based certification body TZUS to ensure a seamless range of product certifications.

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."
