Solutions SK’s sign shop has been awarded accreditation to manufacture and erect road signs on public highways in accordance with new CE standards. Solutions SK is a Stockport Council wholly owned company.
From July 1st any road sign placed on public highways, supermarkets, airport car parks, petrol stations, retail parks, service stations and all public car parks must be manufactured and erected in accordance with a new CE standard, the Construction Products Regulation 2011.
The new regulation ensures that performance standards will be standardised across Europe, regardless who manufactures the sign. The CE marking also allows the sign components to be traced back to their batch.
The Stockport-based sign shop, won accreditation after Inspection Company, SGS carried out an initial type test on the signs manufactured by The Sign Shop.
A Factory Production Control Audit was also conducted by the inspection company to ensure The Sign Shop met European Standards.
With more than 30 years’ experience, The Sign Shop manufactures an extensive range of signs under the new CE marking guidelines from high quality internal and external signs, to banners and vehicle livery, by using the latest computerised design and layout equipment.
All signs are made to Department of Transport specifications.
