While renovating your space, it may not immediately cross your mind to check radiator or towel rail compliance.
As proud members of MARC, the Manufacturers’ Association of Radiators and Convectors, we take this responsibility seriously. We ensure our products are ethically sourced and that manufacturers follow strict guidelines and 2026 manufacturing quality standards. This commitment ensures every radiator we supply is compliant and meets the high quality standards we pride ourselves on.
The Manufacturers’ Association of Radiators and Convectors (MARC) is a UK trade organisation for radiator and heating manufacturers. They focus on raising industry standards, ensuring regulatory compliance, and validating product performance data. MARC provides a unified voice for the heating industry and promotes safe, efficient, high-quality products.
Being a member of MARC helps us deliver heating products you can trust in your home. MARC brings UK radiator manufacturers together to set standards for safety, performance, and energy efficiency. Membership helps us anticipate regulation changes, share best practices, and support a more sustainable heating future. For homeowners, this means radiators guided by industry expertise and built for reliable, efficient, long-term performance.
When choosing radiators or towel rails, it’s important to look for products that meet recognised UK manufacturing quality standards. These include compliance with the Construction Products Regulation (CPR), which ensures products are safely manufactured and perform as claimed, and independently verified heat output testing, so you know the radiator will heat your space effectively. High-quality manufacturers also follow strict testing for durability, pressure resistance, and corrosion protection, helping products perform reliably over many years. Membership of industry bodies such as MARC reinforces this commitment, as members work to uphold consistent standards, accurate performance data, and responsible manufacturing practices—giving homeowners confidence they are investing in safe, efficient, and well-tested heating products.
We are dedicated to serving our customer’s and their clients with high quality and compliant products. Compliance isn’t just a box-ticking exercise — it’s about ensuring accuracy, safety, and trust across our industry. That includes adhering to BS-EN 442, the only recognised standard for radiator performance testing. All of our product outputs use Delta T 50 outputs to ensure that we are giving accurate outputs to our customers.
