There are many different accreditation schemes in the manufacturing sector of construction materials, many of which would be described as generic. STA initiated the STA quality assurance programme, STA Assure, in response to the desire to have a QA programme specific to the design, engineering, manufacturing and installation of structural timber systems. The STA Assure scheme provides evidence to the construction industry that members of the STA meet or exceed current legislation and regulatory requirements. Recognised by warranty providers and insurers, STA Assure ensures that we remain at the forefront of evolving changes to quality and standards.
The purpose of the Audit, by an independent organisation, is to qualify manufacturing members into three levels of competency and to ensure that their businesses are well organised and managed.
The accreditation process ensures that all aspects of the design, manufacturing and installation processes are quality controlled, providing confidence to the construction sector, that products and services are robust. As part of the accreditation, the STA assess the following:
All this adds up to a membership that hold quality and competency to a high level of regard to give you the confidence to use Structural Timber.
