FAQs
What are the design restrictions for mezzanine floors?
Is UKCA / CE marking a legal requirement when installing any type of mezzanine floor in your premises?
It is now an offence to supply structural steelwork without a UKCA mark, meaning that any company who provides a mezzanine floor without a UKCA mark is breaking the law.
It is a legal requirement for all fabricated structural steelwork supplied to a work or building site to carry a UKCA mark. This includes materials involved in the production and manufacturing of mezzanine floors.
It is the responsibility of the company supplying the structural steelworks to ensure that anything that is supplied is sufficiently marked. A mezzanine floor provider and its customer can be held accountable for installing a mezzanine without the correct marking. Building regulations & Insurance will become void if requirements are not adhered to.
Can a used mezzanine floor have UKCA / CE marking?
No is the general answer, a used mezzanine floor cannot be UKCA / CE marked as you do not know where the floor has been produced and if the materials have a marking. However, there are exceptions…..if you have the original drawings / documents for a floor. Please take into account that if any modifications are made to the floor then new calculations would be needed.
