BBA and Barbour partner

The British Board of Agrément (BBA), the UK’s building product certification organisation, and Barbour Product Search, the online product directory for building product manufacturers, are uniting to assist companies wishing to develop sustainable, innovative product development practices.

A key focus of the partnership is a dedicated Testing & Certification Knowledge Hub, accessible to all users of Barbour Product Search throughout the construction supply chain. Both organisations believe the collaboration will support the drive to improve quality and safety by embedding product testing and certification information into Barbour Product Search, with easy reference for building designers, specifiers, contractors and manufacturers.

The announcement also chimes with the government’s Construction Playbook, which places greater focus on building positive relationships between project leads and working together to the benefit of the entire supply chain.
