All Rubba Roof products comply with the European Union GPSD 2001/.95/EC directive on disclosure of product data in respect of Consumer Health and Safety.

Under the current E.U. legislation the CE mark is not applicable to Rubba Roof products. See ETA Health and Safety.

The European Technical Approval certification process is the contemporary relevant standard for a Liquid Polymer Roof Membrane system. Rubba Roof systems are currently undergoing audit by an accredited EOTA testing house.

The British Board of Agrément is a private company limited by guarantee, not a Government organisation. Due to the fee structures of BBA the management of Rubba Roof have decided to commission a suite of relevant technical tests to British Standard, ENO and MOAT specifications through a specialist independent testing house. See B.S. compliance. This approach frees revenue for continuing Research and Development within the range of Rubba Roof products and applications.

There is increasing importance given to the ‘Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design’ standards (LEED)and its associated examinations by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI).

The Rubba Roof waterproofing membrane has a particular niche within LEED qualifying projects where Green Roof systems are incorporated into the construction.

The Rubba roof system is an economical, seamless, strong and micro-flexible water barrier that can form the ideal base of a ‘green roof’ subsoil containment system. European cities, such as Copenhagen, are now mandating that all new low pitch roofs built in the city must incorporate green roof coverings.

Domestic Refurbishment and Industrial Refurbishment can now seek to reach “outstanding” standard within the C80 objectives set by BRE Global. Rubba Roof Systems for roof refurbishment comply with the “assessment standards for environmentally sensitive materials” that form part of BREEAM protocols.

Relevant Points of Compliance.
Rubba Roof system does not usually require the removal of existing coverings – Therefore:-
Less waste of previously installed materials.
Less disturbance to the existing building fabric.
Lower quotient of energy and labour required.
No need to transport old materials off site.
No consumption of scarce landfill resources.
No disposal costs associated with existing coverings.
No heat or CO2 emissions in application of Rubba Roof.
All of the above advantages relating to BREEAM assessments should be of interest to:
Housing Associations
Local Authorities
Building Contractors
Developers
Facility and Estate Management.
