Juralco Balustrades and Building Product Information Register (BPIR)

Introduction: In a groundbreaking development on December 11, 2023, the building industry witnessed a transformative milestone with the enforcement of new regulations. These regulations, designed to empower manufacturers, importers, and consumers, aim to provide transparent, accurate, and consistent information for making informed decisions. Juralco Aluminium Building Products Ltd (JABP) has proactively embraced these regulations.

Understanding the Regulations: For manufacturers like Juralco Balustrades, the newly implemented regulations signify a commitment to transparency by publishing crucial information about their products. This includes demonstrating compliance with the Building Code and substantiating any claims made, all presented in an easily accessible format.

Responsibilities for Sellers: Businesses selling specific Juralco Balustrades covered by the Building Act must direct their customers to the Building Product Information Register (BPIR) sheets upon request. Conveniently available on the Juralco Balustrade website, these sheets serve as invaluable resources for customers seeking detailed and accurate information about the products they are considering for their projects.

Products Affected: The regulations focus on products falling under the building consent process, categorized as Class 1 and Class 2 products. Juralco Balustrades, having identified no Class 1 Products in its range, offers Class 2 Balustrade Products, which are customised to the specifications of individual clients. Architects, designers, and consumers bear no new responsibilities under these regulations.

Exemptions: Certain products, such as those with CodeMark appraisal and modular components manufactured by a registered modular component manufacturer, are exempt from these regulations. More information on exempt products can be found here.

Juralco Balustrade Resources: In line with its commitment to transparency, Juralco has created Building Product Information Register (BPIR) sheets for all its applicable Class 2 products. These comprehensive sheets are accessible on the below link, provide detailed information on compliance, specifications, and more.

Conclusion: As the building industry adapts to new regulations, Juralco is embracing this transparency and a dedication to providing essential information. By complying with these regulations and offering accessible resources, Juralco ensures that specifiers, buyers, and sellers can confidently navigate this evolving landscape.
