The move is also intended to reassure clients in the UK and Europe of the BBA鈥檚 commitment to maintaining a normal trading position post Brexit.
Mechanical engineer Oriola Davies, a construction product certification specialist who has worked for the BBA for more than a decade, has relocated from the BBA鈥檚 headquarters in Watford to Dublin to help establish what becomes BBA EU. She is a member of the European Organisation for Technical Approvals (EOTA)/External Thermal Composite Insulation Systems (ETICS) working group.
BBA commercial director Richard Beale said the move was an 鈥榠mportant step鈥� in enabling the organisation to continue providing product certification and agr茅ment certificates for European clients and customers in Ireland.
鈥淲e will continue to deliver the service they need and expect whether they be manufacturers, installers or distributors of construction products,鈥� he said. 鈥淚n addition, we are completing the process of achieving notified body status for the Ireland office which will allow us to undertake assessment and verification of consistency of performance (AVCP).
