NEWS: MAPUK Leads the way with UKCA Mark Certification for Fire Dampers, Ensuring Continued Supply in the UK Market
Today, Tuesday, 25 June 2024 – MAPUK, a leading provider of ventilation and fire damper solutions, proudly announces that it has secured the UKCA mark for its fire dampers, becoming one of the first suppliers in the UK to achieve this milestone. This certification ensures the continuity of supply to the UK market and aligns with the new regulations effective after 30 June 2025, which mandate all construction products in the UK to bear the UKCA marking or approval.
The UKCA mark signifies that MAPUK's fire dampers meet the stringent safety and quality standards required by UK regulations. As one of the earliest adopters of this certification, MAPUK demonstrates its commitment to delivering high-quality, compliant products to its customers.
Barry Hobday, Managing Director of MAPUK, stated: "As the UK transitions from CE to UKCA marking post-Brexit, we are thrilled to be at the forefront of compliance. Securing the UKCA mark underscores our dedication to upholding the highest standards of safety and quality in our products. This achievement not only ensures continuity of supply into the UK market but also reaffirms our position as a trusted partner for fire damper solutions. Having previously ensured that the stations on the Elizabeth Line Network met the stringent fire safety standards required, we are now looking ahead, working in partnership with London Underground Limited to deliver a number of exciting projects."
MAPUK is also excited to introduce the OPTIMUS 60, a new fire damper developed in partnership with Bevent Rasch, into the UK market. This innovative product represents a significant advancement in fire damper technology, offering a comprehensive solution for fire safety needs. The OPTIMUS 60 combines advanced technology, efficiency, durability, ease of installation, and compatibility to deliver enhanced protection.
MAPUK’s achievement sets a new benchmark for the industry, encouraging other manufacturers to elevate their standards and prioritise safety. This move is expected to drive innovation and improve overall fire safety measures across the UK.
