FIS responded recently on behalf of it’s members to a consultation run by OPSS regarding “bespoke” construction products falling under Article 5 of the Construction Products Regulation. The aim of the consultation is to understand if the use of the term bespoke as it pertains to construction products that either cannot be described or are assumed to be exempt from designated standards is clear and appropriate.
We were able to point out a number of areas from our experience with members in areas such as suspended ceilings and heritage plastering where this definition lacks clarity.
Please contact jamesparlour@thefis.org if you have any questions or would like to know more about our response.
