| The National Insulation Association: The Association exists to advise and protect customers, who commission an insulation service from its members. It is an organisation of member companies concerned with maintaining high standards within the industry. Technical Standards All members work to high industry technical standards, which are recognised by government. For cavity wall insulation mineral wool or expanded polystyrene bead is installed according to an Agrément Certificate: foam contractors are British Standard Registered Firms, installing to BS 5618 covering workmanship. Both the government sponsored British Board of Agrément and British Standards Institution carry out regular, sometimes unannounced, site visits to ensure that the standards are being maintained. Continuing approval by one of these bodies is a membership requirement. No permission is required - just a simple notification by the contractor into the local authority - provided work is done in accordance with these standards. Loft insulation materials and their installation need to be to BS 5803; and draught proofing products need to meet BS 7386 and be installed to Code of Practice 7880. Professional Service, Customer Protection and Guarantees Members are also required to abide by the Association's Code of Professional Practice that demands sound ethical practice and good customer service. This is available in full on request. The Association offers advice on individual queries and provides general and technical information on insulation. |
