As part of its ongoing efforts to uphold legal standards and ensure transparency in product performance and advertising claims across the sector, the Manufacturers' Association of Ra-diators and Convectors (MARC) has issued a reminder that all radiator suppliers, deemed to be manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and resellers, have important legal obligations un-der the Construction Products Regulation 2011.

The Manufacturers Association of Radiators and Convectors (MARC), together with the Hot Water Association (HWA), and the Heating and Hotwater Industry Council (HHIC) is urging government to consider the suitability of current UK domestic heating systems to facilitate the transition to Net Zero.

The Manufacturers Association of Radiators and Convectors (MARC), have launched an online ‘Heat Calculator’ to help consumers choose the right radiator for each room in their home.

The Manufacturers Association of Radiators and Convectors (MARC), estimates that a large percentage of radiator product models on offer in the UK may not be compliant with the current standards. The situation is most acute in the decorative side of the market where MARC estimates over 40% may not comply. Installing radiators that do not conform could result in a cold, expensive and inefficient home.
