Be prepared for the Code of Construction Product Information (CCPI)
With the delayed introduction of the CCPI in 2022 many building manufacturers will now be looking at the requirements for this new construction product information regulation and for systems to manage the additional product information that will be created to comply with CCPI.
The statement below from the CCPI website highlights what this new code aims to achieve.
“The Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) will help organisations drive higher standards in the presentation of construction product information, prioritising building safety. Whether written in a brochure, a presentation, on a website or social media, the CCPI will seek to provide assurance that users of product information have the necessary facts when making decisions about specifying or installing their verified products.”
The full details can be found on the CCPI website.
When signing up to the Code for Construction Product Information there will be a significant amount of additional product data required and a sign off process for creating Product Information.
The additional types of information required will include:
- Certification
- Classification
- Handling
- Installation
- Operation
- Maintenance
- Disposal
The Proplanet PIM (Product Information Management) is a system where all your CCPI information can be stored, along with document flows to comply with the CCPI regulations.
Easily share your CCPI approved product information
Not only this, but your CCPI approved product information can be shared across websites, distribution, and other online channels dynamically. This will ensure all your product data is accurate and consistent across all digital channels as soon as product information changes have been made and signed off.
As a user of the Proplanet PIM solution you can manage CCPI data but also ETIM, GS1 and UNSPSC data classifications.
If you are looking to sign up to the CCPI and require a PIM to manage your product information we can provide you with PIM help and advice. Please contact our UK Business Developer, Wayne Jarvis at wayne.jarvis@proplanet.uk or on +44 7485 403 918 to discuss your requirements.
We’re always happy to arrange a free demo of the Proplanet PIM so you can try out our software, see how it all works and explore the benefits it will bring to your business.
