As a company, DTE has complied with the requirements of ISO 9001, the internationally recognised Quality Management system, since 1991. As DTE's products are manufactured in a controlled factory environment and pre-site sized, you get consistent quality.
A Quality Assurance Management system gives confidence to the business and its customers that it is able to provide products that consistently fulfil requirements. Our Integrated Management System provides the framework to deliver customer satisfaction and to improve current levels of service to customers and other interested parties. These measurements ensure compliance with the international standard BS EN ISO 9001.
For many years, wood and wood products used in the construction industry in the UK have been covered by a range of International Standards. These provide designers, specifiers, buyers and users with assurance of fitness for purpose and performance. In an effort to reduce the technical differences between the different European countries, the Construction Products Regulations (CPR) and CE marking were introduced.
CCPI verification
The official Donaldson Timber Engineering listing provides assessment numbers 013300125/0227 for Joists and 013300126/0227 for Roof Trusses. CCPI assessment concerns product information, not product-performance certification.

CE marking has been a mandatory conformity marking for products sold in Europe. UKCA is the same mandatory conformity for the UK.
CE/UKCA marking is the manufacturer’s declaration that the product meets the requirements of the applicable directives.
