Siderise reasserts commitment to Code for Construction Product Information

The process involved a rigorous reassessment of the organisation, its management systems and leadership and culture surrounding how it creates, manages and shares product data.

Alongside this, the company has had several key ranges newly assessed, including products from its acoustic ranges, in turn meaning the business now offers an increased suite of solutions that carry the CCPI mark (providing even greater assurance of its commitment to realising “clear, accurate, up-to-date, accessible and unambiguous” information.

Independent assessment

The Siderise CW-FS Firestop set for curtain walling was one of the first ranges to go through the scheme’s rigorous and independent assessment process in 2023, which seeks to verify that the leadership and business culture aligns with the ethos of the CCPI.

The 2025 reassessment report, which included summarising survey responses from 41 randomly selected employees focused on the company’s approach to information creation and management, highlighted that there’s “a common understanding that Siderise has a strong culture of ‘doing the right thing’, almost at all costs. This sentiment was consistently expressed in the discussions, particularly so regarding fire safety.”

The report also stated: “Those spoken to consistently expressed a view that Siderise strives to provide the highest quality and safest products, as well as accurate product information. Respondents also emphasised the strong concentration on ‘Integrity’ in daily work, which appears to stem from the example set by Siderise’s senior leadership.”

Expansion of CCPI-marked products

This strong foundation has enabled the company to expand its range of CCPI-marked products rapidly over the past two years, starting with its core life-safety critical products including the RH Horizontal and RV Vertical Cavity Barrier for cladding applications, as well as the CT Cavity Tray and the EW Cavity Barrier and Firestop for masonry external walls.

At the end of 2025, Siderise added several additional products to the portfolio:

• CW-AB Acoustic Barrier and the CW-FB Fireboard for curtain walling
• IC-FS Firestop and IC-CB Cavity Barrier for industrial cladding

In line with its long-term commitment to ‘integrity in all we do’, achieving CCPI conformance for these core product ranges is just one part of Siderise’s wider strategy to support accurate specification and a safer built environment, including alignment with PAS 2000, which sets expectations for product information in that it must be robust enough to demonstrate due diligence.

Collective understanding

Siderise’s technical director Lee Nichols explained: “By having our core product ranges assessed, we want to not only demonstrate to our customers our commitment to actively responding to the challenges they face, but also help the industry to raise its collective understanding of the crucial importance of product safety and testing.”

Nichols continued: “We’ve aligned attaining the CCPI mark for our core products with developing a more holistic specification support package, including the creation of Specification Packs that summarise the relevant product information for the designated application, as well as building our partnership with specification platforms such as NBS.”

Further, Nichols observed: “We continue to advance our competency programme in order to ensure that anyone who conveys product information is equipped with the right level of knowledge. We’re proud to employ over 50 people across the globe who’ve successfully achieved Institution of Fire Engineering Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications. We absolutely welcome the growing momentum behind the CCPI, and notably so the regulatory interest in its framework.”

Supporting accurate specification

The CCPI was created by the Construction Products Association’s Marketing Integrity Group, which at the time was chaired by Siderise CEO Adam Turk, in response to calls for clearer labelling and marketing of construction products in order to support accurate specification.

It’s now overseen by Construction Product Information Ltd, a not-for-profit organisation that’s independently governed and headed by CEO Amanda Long.
