Pegler Yorkshire has extended its BSI Kitemark accreditation by receiving certification for its Copper press fit range in new sizes up to 108mm, complementing its earlier accreditation for its copper products in smaller sizes.
The company had previously received the accreditation for its XPress Copper water and gas press fitting ranges in sizes 15-28mm and now can offer the same quality and reassurance for its products in sizes up to 108mm. The BS 8537:2010 certification assures plumbing and heating professionals of the quality and value of this product range. Pegler Yorkshire’s certification also assures that the press fittings are approved for use with copper tubes which meet requirements of BS EN 1057. The complete range will now boast the esteemed Kitemark which demonstrates regular independent batch testing and auditing to assure the integrity of the products.
“The Pegler Yorkshire name is synonymous with quality and we are delighted to be the first manufacturer in the UK to offer the entire range of Copper press fittings,” said Phill Jackson Marketing and Business Development Director Pegler Yorkshire. “It only serves to reinforce our commitment to our customers and our drive to provide the best quality products on the market.”
Hilary Roberts, Product Manager for Kitemark at BSI said: “Kitemark is one of the UK’s most trusted marks, symbolising a company’s dedication to delivering comprehensive and robust standards of quality and safety. For Pegler Yorkshire the BSI Kitemark will help assure customers that the products offered by the company are independently and robustly audited on a regular basis and that products are manufactured with due diligence to an excellent standard of quality and safety, every time.”
