The grade stamp on structural timber from Europe must say who the manufacturer is – by means of the name, logo or both<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the UK it is common also to see information referring to the Notified Body – the company separate to the manufacturer whose\u00a0role it is to “assess conformity of products” (which is Construction Products Regulations speak to say they are there to help ensure that the grading is done correctly).\u00a0 This is mentioned as an example of the extra information listed in the UK’s National Annex to EN14081-1.<\/p>\n

The Notified Body is often identified with a four digit code number (although there may also be code numbers for other things, such as the reference to the Declaration of Performance).\u00a0 If you are a curious type, you may wonder how to connect a Notified Body to the reference number.\u00a0 Well, wonder no more!\u00a0 You just need to go to the European Commission NANDO website<\/a> where there is a list.<\/p>\n
