JB Red battens receive WPA approval

Marley‘s JB Red battens are now WPA Approved Products. This accreditation certifies their fitness for purpose, paired with Marley’s own WPA Approved Treater status, to reassure customers of their lasting high performance and quality.

The JB Red Battens are factory graded in the UK to BS 5534, and have also become one of the first products on the UK market to carry the CCPI mark. UKAS third-party assessed by the BBA (British Board of Agrément), the battens are fully PEFC-certified and highly identifiable on site due to their red pigment. The battens are also preservative treated to BS 8417: 2011 Usage Class 2 using MicroPro to protect against attack by wood rotting fungi and insect attack.

Marley said: “This milestone is just one of the many ways in which we go the extra mile to ensure the reliability of our battens. From machine laser grading to obtaining an independent, third-party accreditation from the BBA and offering accurate, clear, and unambiguous product information backed up by the CCPI mark, we provide the peace of mind that you can Rely on Red.”
