A. Proctor Group products achieve CCPI assessment

The CCPI consists of eleven clauses, which are designed to give users the confidence that product information meets five acid tests of being clear, accessible, accurate, up-to-date, and unambiguous.

The successful assessment of these 22 products is timely, as February 2025 saw the publication of the Construction Products Reform green paper.

As the government’s formal response to the findings of phase two of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, the paper sets a clear direction for travel in the construction products sector. It acknowledges the role of product information as part of the ongoing change required across the construction industry.

“The Code for Construction Product Information shows how the performance of our products is communicated throughout our organisation, as well as to external stakeholders,” said Keira Proctor, Managing Director of Proctor Group. “The CCPI is a roadmap to make sure that what you’re saying about your product is accurate, from inception to end use. We fully support its aims.”

Before product sets can be submitted, organisations must complete a leadership and culture survey, a management systems questionnaire and an organisation assessment. The survey, in particular, ensures that engagement with the Code is driven from the top and informs behaviour throughout an organisation.

In a CCPI survey of registered organisations, 97% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the Code had helped them to develop better systems and processes for managing product information and marketing.

Keira Proctor added: “The whole process has been beneficial for us. It’s a deep dive exercise and explores every angle of a business. That meant it was a lot of hard work, but it has also driven improvements that help to demonstrate Proctor Group’s commitment to transparency and ethical behaviour.”
