SOPREMA UK has expanded its CPD offering for architects and specifiers with the launch of a new RIBA accredited seminar focused on flat roof fire performance and regulatory compliance. Now available to book through the RIBA CPD Providers Network, Understanding BROOF(t4): Flat Roof Regulatory Requirements and Verified Product Information addresses one of the most critical and closely scrutinised aspects of roof design.
Developed for professionals involved in specifying and designing flat roof systems, the CPD focuses on external fire performance requirements, system testing and the importance of verified product information when demonstrating compliance, offering practical guidance to support informed specification decisions.
RIBA Accredited Learning via the CPD Providers Network
Through its CPD RIBA Approved Providers Network, RIBA works with carefully assessed industry experts to deliver high-quality, impartial learning content. Only CPDs that meet RIBA’s strict criteria for relevance, technical accuracy and educational value achieve accreditation, giving architects confidence that the time they invest genuinely supports their professional growth.
SOPREMA UK’s Understanding BROOF(t4) CPD has been developed with these expectations in mind, addressing the practical challenges architects face when interpreting fire performance requirements and specifying compliant flat roofing systems.
Understanding BROOF(t4): Why This CPD Matters
Fire safety is one of the most heavily scrutinised aspects of building design, yet BROOF(t4) is often misunderstood. Simply put, BROOF(t4) is the highest classification within the UK and European system for assessing external fire performance of roofs. It demonstrates that a roof system has been tested and proven to resist fire spread from external sources. However, as many architects know, the reality is more complex.
SOPREMA’s CPD breaks this topic down into clear, practical terms by:
- Explaining how external fire performance is classified
- Clarifying commonly misunderstood terminology
- Outlining how tested roof system performance should be interpreted when designing or specifying flat roofs
- Highlighting typical areas of confusion and risk, supporting designers in making informed, evidence based decisions
- Using clear, factual language, aligned with current expectations for accurate and responsible construction product information
By looking at regulation in relation to real-world roof design, the course gives architects the confidence to specify systems correctly the first time.
In an increasingly regulated environment, trust in product information is essential. That’s why SOPREMA’s CPD also looks closely at the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI). The CCPI plays a vital role in raising standards across the industry by ensuring product claims are clear, accurate, up to date and unambiguous.
For SOPREMA UK, CCPI is central to how we communicate performance, testing and system suitability.
Learning Backed by Technical Expertise
With over 100 years of global experience in waterproofing, insulation and roofing systems, SOPREMA combines manufacturing expertise with deep technical understanding.
Whether you are just starting out in your career or are an experienced specifier, SOPREMA’s Understanding BROOF(t4) CPD offers valuable insights into both regulations and practical application.
