How Bauder ensures your flat roof specification is safe and compliant.

Our competence is underpinned by certification and independent verification and third‑party approval, including CCPI accreditation, BBA and Kiwa Agrément testing, and Factory Mutual (FM) approval of system assemblies.

We ensure compliance and quality through Declarations of Performance under the Construction Products Regulation, UKAS‑accredited ISO certification, and Cyber Essentials.

Our sustainability‑focused solutions are evidenced by EPDs and REDcert2‑audited sustainable insulation materials.

Bauder flat roof specifications are produced by trained professionals, including area technical managers and technical department specification writers.

Our staff have the skills, knowledge and experience to act as Designer for flat roof solutions and to work with the Principal Designer to deliver the correct solution.

The direct involvement of Nigel Blacklock, Bauder’s Standards and Compliance Director, on standards committees and advisory panels provides immediate insight into emerging requirements, which are shared internally through CPD training, technical bulletins, and white papers.

All Bauder specifications and technical calculations are project‑specific and aligned with the Building Safety Act 2022, BS 6229:2025, Building Regulations, and relevant Approved Documents.

Bauder calculations also comply with key British Standards and guidance for wind loading, drainage, thermal performance, condensation control and blue‑roof rainfall modelling using FEH22 data and Environment Agency climate change allowances.

Alongside our own compliant specifications, we use regularly updated systems such as NBS Chorus and NBS Source to reflect current regulations.

For complex areas like fire safety, acoustics, energy performance, or sustainability targets, a building designer will often involve specialists or building control officers to confirm requirements.

A Bauder specification is cross-checked with drawings, structural designs, fire strategies, and energy assessments to ensure nothing conflicts with building regulations.

Once the project is set to proceed, our site technician team attends pre-start meetings to ensure the specification and schedule of works co-ordinates with any further or following installing trades. A Bauder site technician continues the on-site relationship by monitoring works and providing reports of installation progress, ensuring workmanship meets the standards for our guarantee.

Bauder operates formal quality systems for ISO 9001 Quality Management, 14001 Environmental Management, and 45001 Occupational Health and Safety through UKAS. 

These systems require regular audits and continuous improvement of specification processes.

Robust document control ensures only current specifications are used on site and prevents superseded versions being followed. This forms a core part of our CCPI assessment, with 24 flat roof systems covered by 16 CCPI Marks confirming the accuracy and clarity of our product and system information.

This ensures specifiers can rely on our information when selecting a Bauder solution.
