Flex-R Rubberbond Fleeceback EPDM passes CCPI assessment

RubberBond FleeceBack EPDM, available exclusively through Flex-R, has passed the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) assessment. This third-party assessment confirms that all the information provided by Flex-R on this system is clear, accurate, accessible, up-to-date, and unambiguous, making it easier for specifiers to make an informed choice. 

Rubberbond FleeceBack EPDM is a 1.2mm-thick EPDM membrane and 1.8mm fleece that offers up to 40% greater puncture resistance, and 180% greater tear resistance, than non-reinforced 1.52mm EPDMs. It can be used for various flat roofing projects, whether an overlay for an aged roof system, a roof renovation, or a newbuild project. It can also be installed in small or large commercial situations. 

The CCPI is becoming an important tool for anyone purchasing construction materials. It was developed through industry consultation initiated by the Construction Product Association (CPA) in direct response to Dame Judith Hackitt’s review after the Grenfell tragedy and the resulting Building Safety Act. It was created by a group of manufacturers who agreed to raise standards in construction and transition the industry to a point where all product information provided by a manufacturer, merchant, or distributor adheres to this ethos. The ultimate goal is for clients, specifiers, and users to demand only products that comply with the CCPI. 

The CCPI includes three distinct codes; the first for manufacturers, which focuses on the responsibility for accurate product information and the assessment of product claims. The second is for supporters, which includes clients, major housebuilders, and Tier One contractors advocating CCPI adoption through their supply chains. Finally, the code for merchants and distributors emphasises processes and systems for creating, reproducing, and accurately representing product information. 

Flex-R has successfully passed the CCPI assessment for its RubberBond FleeceBack EPDM system, while Flex-R achieved the Merchant and Distribution version of the CCPI code in June 2024.
