New Government plans to reform building safety following the Grenfell Tower tragedy signal a major overhaul of how construction products will be regulated, and they will impact the UK’s electrotechnical supply chain. The government’s Construction Products Reform Green Paper, now out for consultation until Wednesday 21 May 2025, includes proposals for legally binding responsibilities for wholesalers and distributors, as well as for manufacturers.
Paul Reeve, Special Advisor to the EDA, has reviewed the Green Paper and identified how the proposed changes could impact Wholesalers and Manufacturers in our sector.
Please register below for our ‘How newly proposed Construction Product Safety law will impact electrical wholesalers’ webinar 10.00am – 11.00am, Tuesday 29 April 2025 where Paul will:
- Highlight the headline implications of this newly proposed regulatory regime AND
- Share the EDA’s draft response, AND
- Invite you to contribute your comments to help shape the EDA’s final submission.
We will be joined by Peter Caplehorn, CEO of the Construction Products Association (CPA): they have been co-ordinating work on this topic for several years on behalf of the construction materials sector.
