Government Regulators Crack Down on False Radiator Claims: Why MARC’s Compliance Campaign is a Win for Clean Heat
Send us a textIn this episode Nathan chats to two of the Guild Patrons, Rob Nezard from UK Radiators and Nick Baylis from Castrads about the issue of radiators being sold in the UK with overstated power outputs. Rob and Nick have been working with the Manufacturers Association of Radiators and Convectors (MARC) and now have the help of the Government body: Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS), the National Regulator for construction products, enforcing the Construction Product Regulations. This level of government involvement is a significant development, and it validates the nearly nine-year campaign for transparency and accurate performance claims across the radiator and convector sectorMeet the Guild PatronsGuild Patrons help support the Guild of Master Heat Engineers disseminate quality information about current good practice.
