Event agenda: Reforming construction products.
Join us for an exclusive BSI members’ event exploring the upcoming regulatory reforms for construction products and their impact on the built environment sector. Hear from regulators, industry leaders, and BSI experts as they share insights on key changes, recent research on systems thinking in construction, and the role of standards in supporting safer, more effective products.
You’ll have the chance to ask questions directly to our expert panel, with the option to submit questions in advance via the registration form on this page.
