British Standard BS 851188

INDUSTRY LEADING STANDARDS

From ISO 9001 quality management, to achieving the latest BSI certification for our flood resilience products BS 851188 or delivering our service according to the Industry Code of Practice, our commitment to the highest standards is relentless.

WHAT DOES BS 851188 MEAN?

The British Standards Institution is the National Standards Body of the United Kingdom and Globally recognised and respected. The BSI produces technical standards on a wide variety of products and services and also supplies certification and standards related services to Businesses.

The BSI testing process involves installing an appropriate flood resilience product in an approved BSI testing facility to simulate static water, dynamic impact, waves and currents, and the leakage rate. The testing is intensive and precise, to ensure only the best products achieve Certification.

M3 Floodtec ensure all flood resilience solutions are independently tested by the British Standards Institute, with all relevant products meeting PAS1188, and testing now successfully completed to the new exacting requirements of the new British Standard BS851188. The first company in the world to achieve the new British standard!

INDUSTRY CODE OF PRACTICE

CIRIA (Construction Industry Research and Information Association) is a neutral, independent, and not for profit body. CIRIA’S vision is to be a leading enabler and preferred partner for performance improvement, driving collaboration across built environment and construction sectors for the identification, development, and transfer of knowledge.

The Code of Practice has been developed by CIRIA and the BRE (Building Research Establishment) with input from the DEFRA PFR round table, CIWEM, ICE and RICS to create a benchmark for procuring and delivering Property Flood Resilience (PFR).

Supported by: The Environment Agency, Scottish Government, Welsh Government, Department for Infrastructure, Northern Ireland and Aviva.

The Code of Practice features six standards specifying what should be achieved when delivering Property Flood Resilience PFR, with the supporting guidance explaining how a process based on six stages delivers PFR that complies with good practice

M3 Floodtec supports the Code of Practice, and we shape our service delivery around the guidance.

We also support the work of CIWEM (Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management) to design, develop and deliver accredited Property Flood Resilience (PFR) training with a comprehensive audit trail on behalf of the Environment agency.

OUR BS 851188 TESTING FACILITY

As a leader in our field, we are constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation to address the needs of an ever-changing environment. Fundamental to this programme of development is our ability to access state of the art testing facilities for both domestic and commercial flood resilience products.
