As the UK experiences increasingly extreme summer temperatures, NFRC is calling for climate resilience to become a standard consideration in the design, refurbishment and maintenance of roofs.
NFRC is urging roofing contractors, merchants, housebuilders and the wider construction supply chain to remain vigilant after receiving photographs of roofing battens carrying markings that appear inconsistent with the requirements of BS 5534.
It is a pretty gloomy construction industry in the UK, at present, and one chink of light has been growing support for the Conflict Avoidance Process - CAP.
NFRC Technical Manager – Pitched and Solar Integration, Ben Rowlands, will be speaking at Westminster Insight’s Future Homes Standard Conference on Tuesday 14 July London.
This response covers both the Construction Products Reform White Paper and the parallel Consultation on the General Safety Requirement for Construction Products, which closed on 20 May 2026.
As rooftop solar becomes more common, NFRC businesses are reporting that more systems are being fitted without an adequate assessment of the roof beneath.
It will be most directly relevant to main contractors delivering public sector projects, with opportunities for specialist contractors through supply chains.
Through this consultation, the CLC is seeking industry feedback to ensure that the programme continues to reflect current challenges and opportunities, and that the data collected provides a meaningful picture of real-world progress towards decarbonisation.
Digital Product Passports are structured digital records that contain key information about a product, such as sustainability, safety, and compliance data, accessible throughout the product’s lifecycle.
For enquiries regarding roofing, cladding, or construction developments, please email the NFRC Press team to connect with a technical expert, an NFRC Member business, or an appropriate spokesperson.
