Government to speak on BS EN 1090 compliance at RIDBA Industry Day
An excellent line-up of speakers and sponsors has been confirmed for RIDBA’s Industry Day.
Taking place on September 10 at the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), the day will bring together members from across the sector for a day of insight, networking and discussion.
The programme has now been confirmed and we are pleased to announce that Gerry Hearne, operational policy manager at the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS), will deliver a keynote presentation on the government’s work to support compliance of BS EN 1090.
Following extensive engagement with industry over the summer, Gerry will outline the progress made by the government and provide an update on how we are seeking to increase levels of compliance across the sector.
RIDBA chairman Simon Pelly said: “Our members have made it clear that the high levels of non-compliance of BS EN 1090 is one of the biggest challenges facing the industry.
“RIDBA has continued to press for greater clarity and a more effective approach. This is an important opportunity for members to hear directly from government about the work that has taken place over the summer and what they can expect to see happen next.”
In addition, Nick Crawford of Twist ,will provide an introduction to AI and there will be an update on RIDBA’s priorities and what they mean for members.
There will also be a tour of the MTC, a talk from the MTC and RIDBA’s AGM will take place.
Barrett Steel is the headline sponsor for the event. The event sponsors are STRUMIS, Thomas Panels and Profiles, Wedge Galvanizing and Trimble. We thank them for their commitment and support.
Simon Pelly continued: “The RIDBA Industry Day has always been about bringing together the issues that matter most to our members, alongside opportunities to learn, network and look ahead.
“With updates on compliance, AI, innovation and the future direction of our sector, this year’s programme is one of our strongest yet and I look forward to welcoming members to the Manufacturing Technology Centre in September.”
RIDBA members can book to attend the day here.
