Getting to grips with Document Q
»»Document Q, the
latest addition to Building
Regulations come into force on
1 October 2015. Recognising
that many fabricators and
installers will be uncertain about
what the new legislation entails,
leading hardware company the
Trojan Group has launched an
easy-to-understand guide to the
hardware aspect of the legislation
and what needs to be done to
comply.
Tony Chadwick, Trojan’s
Group Managing Director, said:
“Document Q sounds like a big
change, but that isn’t necessarily
true. Many companies will
find that their products already
meet the requirements of the
legislation. If that’s the case, our
leaflet will give them peace of
mind they’re compliant.”
In essence, the new legislation
requires all windows and doorsets

to meet the requirements of
PAS 24: 2014 or other similar
standards (which are all listed
in Document Q). Tony says:
“Security is of paramount
importance in hardware
products, so many items in
our range already meet the
requirements of the legislation.”
Choosing your supplier
with care is something that we
all know is important. This is
proved yet again in this case. Not
only is the Trojan Group already
ahead of the game, it’s also
produced valuable guidance to
help customers and prospective
customers get to grips with the
new legislation. In short, it’s the
perfect hardware partner!

1988 and Ian has always been
a popular customer. He will be
sorely missed by us all and on
behalf of the whole team at The
VEKA UK Group we send our
sincerest condolences to his family
and friends.”
A memorial service took place
on Friday, the 25th of September

at Ormlie Lodge in Thurso and
anyone who knew Ian was invited
to attend and celebrate his life.
The dress code was smart casual
and everyone was asked to wear
something red. The family also
asked people to make donations
to the British Liver Trust instead
of flowers and cards.
