Brett Martin MuPVC (PVC-C) waste fittings are manufactured to BS EN 1566-1.
Brett Martin Waste Systems can be used in wide variety of applications and although many of the materials used are widely considered to have good fire performance, they are not currently formally fire tested/certified. This means that there are some applications where they may not be suitable, for example in some buildings taller than 18m. Those who select, specify or install these products should always be aware of the relevant building regulations to ensure that products are installed in the correct applications.
