These new partnerships create efficiencies across the supply chain, making it easier and quicker for building product manufacturers at home and throughout the EU to achieve the necessary compliance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough NBs have worked together in the past this is the first real partnership seen between them, for the good of the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Building product manufacturers seeking certification to supply British and European markets can fast-track marking applications following major agreements between the British Board of Agr\u00e9ment (BBA) and European Notified Bodies (NBs).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[591,706,676,583,664,780,705,701],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172382],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-93717","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-brexit","8":"tag-certification","9":"tag-construction","10":"tag-construction-products","11":"tag-construction-services","12":"tag-collaboration","13":"tag-sh-bba","14":"tag-supply-chain","15":"stakeholder_rel_tag-bba"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>BBA initiative drives \u2018single audit\u2019 plan for UKCA &amp;
