SIGA NATURAL SLATE PASSES CCPI ASSESSMENT

SIGA, available exclusively through SIG Roofing, has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first natural roofing slate to pass the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) assessment. This achievement confirms that all product information provided for SIGA natural slate meets the CCPI’s acid tests of being clear, accurate, accessible, up-to-date, and unambiguous.

The CCPI is a vital tool for anyone involved in purchasing building materials. It was developed to enhance product information accuracy, enabling all stakeholders in the supply chain to make better-informed decisions. Initiated in response to the Grenfell Tower report, the CCPI is part of a broader industry effort to raise standards in construction by ensuring all product information aligns with its ethos. Ultimately, it aims to encourage clients, specifiers, and users to demand compliance with the CCPI for all construction products.

The CCPI includes three distinct codes:

• For Manufacturers – Focuses on the responsibility for accurate product information and the assessment of product claims.
• For Supporters – Includes clients, major housebuilders, and Tier One contractors advocating CCPI adoption through their supply chains.
• For Merchants and Distributors – Emphasises processes and systems for creating, reproducing, and accurately representing product information.

SIGA has successfully passed the CCPI assessment for its natural slate products, while SIG Roofing achieved the Merchant and Distribution version of the CCPI code earlier this year.

Gemma Prince, SIG Roofing’s Category Director, commented:

“SIGA natural slates are sourced from a wide range of quarries and are categorised into Prestige, Excellence, Commercial, and Classic ranges to help our customers select the right product for their projects. Each slate is assigned a SIGA number, which ensures traceability and consistency by specifically identifying its quarry and selection. “By working closely with international quarries, SIG Roofing ensures all natural slates within the SIGA brand meet UK requirements. With robust processes in place for managing product information, we are also able to make sure that our information remains clear and up-to-date. As a business, we strongly support the CCPI and are thrilled that SIGA natural slates have been recognised for their trustworthy and accurate product information.”
