TRAD UK, a leading name in the scaffolding supply industry, has reaffirmed its dedication to quality and safety by highlighting its extensive range of NASC-approved and audited products.
The company is calling on contractors to be vigilant when selecting products, ensuring that they meet British and European Standards through NASC (National Access & Scaffolding Confederation) approval. With an industry-wide emphasis on safety and compliance, TRAD UK believes contractors can have confidence in the integrity and compliance of their products.
“Contractors should check with suppliers to confirm that the products they are purchasing are NASC-approved,” stated Alan Slater, Head of Technical & Product Support at TRAD UK.
“This verification assures them that the products they are using meet the high standards required in our industry. At TRAD UK, we are proud to say that wherever possible our product lineup has undergone rigorous NASC auditing, giving our clients a reliable source for compliant scaffolding materials.”
Contrary to a common industry misconception, NASC Supplier Members do not automatically have their products audited by NASC, this is a voluntary process and TRAD UK currently stands as the only Supplier Member offering NASC-audited products in all seven product categories. These products include:
- EN 39 Type 4 Scaffold Tube (4mm)
- EN 10219-1 3.2mm Scaffold Tube
- BS 2482 Scaffold Boards
- EN 74-1 Scaffold Couplers (Doubles, Swivels, and Sleeves)
- Aluminium Beams
- TRADLOK
- TRADSTAIR
- Plettac Metrix
- Prefabricated Structural Transoms (Readyloks)
Additionally, TRAD UK provides a full range of aluminium alloy beams for all project requirements, including the TRAD 450mm, TRAD 750mm, Altrix 790mm, Asterix 750mm, Asterix HD, and the Apollo 450mm and 750mm X-Beams – all of which hold NASC approval. TRAD UK believes it may be unique in offering such an extensive range of audited products.
The company also notes that NASC Contractor Members are required, during their yearly audit, to provide NASC Product CoP (Code of Practice) audit certificates from their suppliers.
If a contractor uses products from non-audited suppliers, they will need to supply additional documentation to meet NASC standards. By choosing NASC-approved products from TRAD UK, contractors can streamline compliance processes and ensure adherence to the highest industry standards.
