VEKA leads industry standards with windows product set achieving CCPI conformance

The independent assessment confirms that VEKA’s product information for its windows product set meets the Code’s rigorous requirements for accuracy, clarity and governance. 

VEKA’s CCPI conformance follows a rigorous independent assessment of the product information management processes, governance and supporting culture relating specifically to its Windows product set. The assessment confirms that product information for these systems meets the requirements of the Code and aligns with recognised industry best practice.

For customers, specifiers and supply chain partners, this provides greater confidence that VEKA's Windows product set product information can be greater relied upon at every stage - from specification and procurement through to installation and ongoing use. It also demonstrates VEKA’s ongoing commitment to transparency, consistency and responsible practice within the construction sector.

This milestone comes as VEKA marks its 40th anniversary, reflecting four decades of continued investment in systems, processes and support for the UK market, and highlighting how the business continues to evolve in line with changing industry expectations.

Paul Kennington, Technical Director at VEKA plc, said: “Our industry, alongside the wider construction sector, has faced long-standing challenges around the quality and consistency of product information. The aim of the CCPI is to raise standards across product information, including leadership and culture, to provide greater confidence that product information is clear, accurate, accessible, up to date and unambiguous.

Achieving conformance with the Code for our Windows product information reinforces our commitment to supporting the supply chain with accurate and reliable information and, we hope, encourages wider adoption of these standards across the sector.”
