The Manufacturers Association of Radiators and Convectors (MARC), launched a campaign in 2020, to raise consumer awareness of the importance of having quality, radiators that conform to current standards, installed 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.
