wienerberger UK & Ireland Becomes First Manufacturer to Achieve CCPI Assessment for Bricks and Pavers
wienerberger UK & Ireland, a leading provider of building envelope solutions, has become the first manufacturer to achieve the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) assessment for its UK-manufactured bricks and pavers - a significant milestone that delivers direct benefits for architects, specifiers, and design professionals.
The CCPI was established to raise standards across the construction industry by ensuring that all product information is accurate, clear, accessible, up to date, and unambiguous. For architects, this translates into greater confidence during the specification process - reducing design risk and supporting compliance with evolving regulatory demands.
Supporting Architects with Informed Specification
By achieving CCPI assessment, wienerberger empowers architects to make better-informed, compliant choices when specifying brick and paver solutions. In an industry where accountability and clarity are more critical than ever, this certification provides a trusted foundation for design and material selection.
Clear, transparent product data not only streamlines the specification process but also supports Golden Thread compliance and helps mitigate potential liability related to inaccurate or misleading product claims. With wienerberger, architects can specify with assurance, knowing they are working with a manufacturer that is leading the way in responsible product information.
Confidence in Compliance & Risk Reduction
Paul Instrell, Chief Commercial Officer at wienerberger UK & Ireland, commented:
“Over the past 18 months or so we have noticed an increase in demand of adoption when it comes to CCPI, particularly among our core client base. This demand, combined with our commitment to providing transparency to our customers and confidence in supply chains, made it pertinent that we seek out and achieve the assessment for our product categories. We are proud to be one of many manufacturers committed to higher standards in construction product information, marketing and product claims. The CCPI is playing a pivotal role in driving up standards and facilitating positive culture change and we’re working proactively with the CCPI to raise standards in our product information management and marketing.”
This commitment comes at a pivotal time, as the industry continues to respond to the Building Safety Act and heightened expectations around product traceability and performance accountability. The CCPI’s rigorous standards help futureproof projects by ensuring that product data used at design stage remains accurate and consistent throughout the building lifecycle.
Trusted Partner in Responsible Specification
Amanda Long, Chief Executive at CCPI, added:
"We’re delighted that wienerberger UK manufactured bricks and pavers have become CCPI Assessed. Accurate and transparent product information is essential for building safety, and this achievement highlights wienerberger’s commitment to supporting safer construction practices."
With this accreditation, wienerberger is reinforcing its role as a trusted partner to architects, providing not just premium-quality materials, but also the documentation, data, and transparency required to meet modern design and compliance expectations.
Ready for What’s Next
Beyond meeting today’s standards, wienerberger’s CCPI achievement positions the company - and its specifiers - for future regulatory shifts. CCPI accreditation helps ensure that product information systems are agile, robust, and ready to support upcoming changes in building legislation.
