For protection against the elements, exposed steel parts require an anti-corrosion coating such as hot-dip galvanisation. To this end, a new directive for CE labelling of steel products and their corrosion protection will become effective in 2014. Product liability will be significantly tightened and manufacturers will be obligated to verify the thickness of the hot-dip galvanisation.
Life is about to change for manufacturers of metal and steel structures. Beginning in 2014, a new CE labelling standard for steel products and their corrosion protection will shift product liability – i.e. the burden of proof for documenting coating thickness measurements – to the providers of the coating systems. For many in this field, only the most user-friendly and cost-effective measurement technologies will come under consideration.
Mandate sets 2030 date for use of sustainable aviation fuel
I do hope this doesn't cause costs to UK aviation to rise and lose business to those staying on fossil fuels.
