CPA Weekly Notes - 15th September 📝

Fenestration and Product Data Templates webinar | Wednesday 27th September With legislation emerging highlighting the importance of digital product information to building safety, the need to create consensus-agreed product data templates (PDTs) is becoming ever more important. While the LEXiCON project is still in development, there are opportunities for trade associations and manufacturers to begin their journey towards creating PDTs following the LEXiCON methodology. In this webinar, we will highlight one such example from the door and hardware sector, in the hope that this might inspire others to begin their digitalisation journey. Speaking at the webinar will be: Hanna Clarke (Digital and Policy Manager, CPA) – Setting the scene, LEXiCON update Carl Collins (Head of Digital Engineering, CIBSE) – Golden Thread requirements and approach to creating PDTs Douglas Masterson (Technical Manager, GAI) & Kevin Underwood (Technical Director, BWF) – Establishing a shadow Relevant Authority and creating PDTs The webinar will be held Wednesday 27 September, 12.00 (GMT) and is open to both CPA members and non-members.
