ToolBox Talk: checking for substandard timber battens

This new resource sets out what you need to do and consider when installing timber battens, after battens falsely marked as BS 5334-compliant have been increasingly seen in the UK market.

A ToolBox Talk aimed at installers has been formulated in conjunction with the Timber Batten Working Group. This will be available shortly on the Technical section of the NFRC website. The ToolBoxTalk discusses what you need to do, and think about, before and during installation of roofing battens. This is informed by the recent rise in the appearance on site of non-compliant battens which have been falsely marked with BS 5534.
