Long overdue changes to BS 5385

[Bill]

The article about the adhesive states that one of the four tested failed........ So, it could be a member of the TTA and that would really put a spanner in the works.

If this the motor industry there would be a product recall

So, the tile association have full knowledge that there is potentially problematic adhesive being used out here by unwitting people (could be me, or anyone in here) and they don't share that knowledge?
Say you had evidence that Ford focus cars were faulty and rather than publish that info, you just had a quiet word with Ford (who probably pay you a lot of money each year) would you share guilt if there are accidents by unwitting focus drivers??

But I’m not a governing body, I’m joe blogs!
If I were the Car Ombudsman, yes I’d expect to be culpable. Of course I would, is it not job as an independent overseer of cars to protect the general public as well as the industry?

Those results would probably have never come to light Tom, been dealt with in House.

Well I'm the dog with the bone now. I want to know why they aren't releasing those results.
Without showing teeth and consequences - i.e. release of info or loss of TTA membership (if they are members) then not only is EN 12004 a waste of time as guidance, but the TTA is also a waste of time.

This discussion is really not over...!

The results still haven't come to light though as the 'independent' tester and TTA haven't named the manufacturer - I reckon a whole load of litigation is about to begin if they continue down this route.

Everyone knows the TTA are sponsored.

from the biogel technical sheet in English
turns out to be a S / 1.
who wants to bet € 10 that is kerakoll the producer?
if you know kerakoll sellers, try to ask if they have received news from kerakoll.
the article speaks only of non-conforming
not of failures

 

[Old Mod]

I think in the best interests of not only the forum and the individuals that have contributed to this discussion, it has now been moved out of the public domain and in to the Arms

Agree Marc, shame we have to be so guarded.
Criticism (even constructive) of TTA = potential litigious tantrums?

 

[Old Mod]

Especially when company names are being banded about haha
