PAS 2000 Launch Event: Bringing Safer Construction Products to Market

Setting a new standard for construction product safety

Are you responsible for manufacturing, specifying, testing, or procuring construction products? 

The regulatory landscape is evolving, and expectations for safety, accountability and evidence have never been higher. We are hosting a free event to celebrate the launch of PAS 2000 launch event and provide you with the opportunity to get ahead. 

You’ll learn what’s in the new code of practice, why it matters and how your organization can lead the way in delivering safer, more reliable products.
Developed in response to the Morrell/Day ‘Testing for a safer future’ report and the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, PAS 2000 describes the framework against which manufacturers can show they have taken all reasonable steps to ensure their products are safe for their intended uses. 

The standard enables you to deliver comprehensive, accurate and reliable evidence to support your statements about product safety and performance, giving your clients, partners and regulators the confidence they demand
