UNBOX OUR SYSTEMS EXPERTISE
Heating is just the start of it.
Before your next project even begins, The Vaillant Standard has your back. From an early consultation through to a complete heating system solution. Our future-thinking innovations are designed to keep your housing stock sustainable. Once you unbox The Vaillant Standard, you’re all systems go.
It introduces measures such as regular inspections of social housing providers, the power to issue unlimited fines to rogue landlords, and strict timelines for addressing housing hazards.
One of the key changes will be the new requirement for social housing managers to gain professional qualifications. This move is designed to further professionalise the sector – something that has been at the heart of the ASCP’s mission for many years. It is anticipated that approximately 25,000 managers will be required to have an appropriate qualification regulated by Ofqual equivalent to a Level 4 or 5 depending on seniority.
“We are in touch with DLUHC to ensure we can support members as this requirement develops,” said the association in a statement following the Act’s Royal assent.
“We recognise the importance of this Act and welcome its arrival as it aligns with our collective mission to raise safety and compliance standards, and we are committed to supporting our members understand the many aspects of the Act and navigating the changes that result.”
At the association’s 2023 Safety and Compliance Conference in June at the Telford International Centre, a recordbreaking attendance heard from both key ASCP team members as well as industry leaders reflecting on a significant 12 months for the sector and looking ahead to future challenges.
The agenda was specifically tailored to cover a diverse range of the topics most relevant to the sector today, including; the ‘big six’ compliance areas, damp and mould, building safety, net zero and safety leadership.
The Ei3030 is the next evolution in Home Life Safety
Introducing the newest innovation in Multi-Sensor alarms from Aico, the Ei3030 Multi-Sensor Fire and Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm.
The flagship alarm in Aico’s technologically advanced 3000 Series, the Ei3030 combines individual Optical, Heat and CO sensors, for the ultimate fire and CO response. The Ei3030 also has a range of additional benefits, including built-in dust compensation technology.
The unique self-monitoring dust compensation mechanism reduces the risk of false alarms. The optical sensor chamber continually self-monitors minute changes in dust levels, automatically recalibrating the alarm’s trigger point when necessary to reduce false alarms. The Ei3030 can also be fitted in any room where both Fire and CO protection is required (excluding the kitchen) meaning coverage can be provided with fewer alarms.
