Importance of Having Technical Perfomace Data for Channel 

Support frames play a critical role in every building services installation, ensuring both the stability of the systems they hold and the safety of the building's occupants. Typically, the construction of building service support frames involves combining channel lengths, brackets and other components from various untested sources into one cohesive installation. However, as the industry focuses more on minimising risks and improving standards, there is a growing trend for contractors to provide a design specification for their support frames.

This shift means engineers need reliable information and load data for the components and connections they incorporate into their designs for verification against the specification. It is therefore crucial that the products used during construction match or exceed the performance of those specified. This consistency is vital for maintaining integrity and safety, ensuring the installed support frames will meet all the required performance standards.
