In a presentation to the Men of Stones group, Maurice Rogers talks about stone testing and takes issue with the regimes required by ‘CE’ marking, CE being the abbreviation of the French phrase ‘Conformité Européene’, or ‘European Conformity’, a declaration that the product complies with the essential requirements of the relevant European health, safety and environmental protection legislation.
CE Marking for stone became a legal obligation in the UK and throughout Europe from 1 July 2013. However, Rogers believes that the current regime of testing for CE marking, and how the results are presented, may mislead architects and their clients.
