Garage Doors - New CE Legislations

From July 2013 the CE marking for metal and timber garage door products is due to change. From next year the Construction Products Directive (CPD) is set to be replaced by the Construction Products Regulation (CPR), and under this regulation, all products will be legally required to be CE marked.

In the future it will be mandatory for all manufacturers and installers to CE mark.  This is to make sure that all companies are compliant by making sure all products meet industry standards and it is a viable defence against legal claims should accidents occur.

The DHF have produced a best practice guide to help members understand the new legislation and what is required by them when it comes to providing and installing CE marked products.

As members of the DHF, Doorfit are committed to supplying and installing all products in line with the high standards and legislation set out by the CPD, and, when the time comes, the CPR.  That way, you can be confident that when you come to Doorfit for your automatic garage door, you know you’re dealing with a professional company whose products and installation services fully comply with the high standards and legislation outlined by the CPD.
