This is an essential event for manufacturers, importers, distributors, or compliance professionals responsible for construction products in the UK or EU market.
Wednesday 18th March 2026 · 10:30am · Online, or in person in Manchester.
The regulatory landscape governing construction products continues to evolve on both sides of the border, and for those responsible for compliance, keeping pace is not optional. Whether you are navigating CE marking for the EU market or preparing for UKCA obligations, staying ahead of these changes is essential to maintaining the quality, integrity and compliance of your products.
Keeping our clients informed of regulatory developments is something we take seriously, but understanding the changes is only the first step. For those who want to go further, BTTG® is pleased to offer our specialist CE and UKCA marking seminar - a focused, expert-led session designed to support you in meeting your requirements with confidence across both the UK and EU markets.
Why attend?
With updates to the European Construction Products Regulation on the horizon, the new AVCP assessment system coming into effect, and the UK's own building regulations framework undergoing reform, 2026 is a pivotal year for anyone placing construction products on the market. This seminar cuts through the complexity and gives you the clarity you need.
What you will learn
Our specialist speaker will guide you through the key topics shaping the industry right now:
• Overview of the EU and UK Construction Products Regulations
• Current CE and UKCA marking requirements
• The forthcoming revision of the European CPR
• The new AVCP System 3+
• Future UK Building Regulations
• The UKCA implementation timeline
There will also be time for questions, giving you the opportunity to raise specific challenges relevant to your products and markets.
Who should attend?
This seminar is aimed at manufacturers, importers, and distributors of construction products sold in the UK or EU that fall within the scope of the Construction Products Regulations. It is equally relevant to technical managers, compliance teams, and anyone with responsibility for product conformity and market access.
