The new British Standard is clear, roofing battens must be graded to BS 5534.
Battens delivered to site should be graded and marked in accordance
with the new standard and have supporting documentation.

Compliant battens will show:
Supplier
Origin/Species Code
BS 5534 stamp
Size

A batten can only be marked BS 5534 if it has already been fully graded and is compliant.
You can be sure that we take the change in regulations seriously at Buildbase and our chosen
supplier, John Brash, have invested £750,000 on Goldeneye, Europe’s only dedicated roof
batten scanning line.

This ensures battens are fully compliant to the highest standard to get the job done
and give you peace of mind.
