CD 534 v0.2.0 - Meeting and exceeding the latest standardStandards for Highways has released an updated version of CD 534: Chamber Tops and Gully Tops for Road Drainage and Services, now at version 0.2.0. While this revision refines structure and guidance, particularly around chamber positioning, its core principles on ironwork design, performance and compliance remain consistent with previous editions. We’re proud to confirm that all Wrekin ductile iron ranges continue to meet and exceed the latest specification. Our products have always gone beyond the minimum requirements of CD 534 and BS EN 124.

Standards are our starting pointOur philosophy is simple: standards exist to be built upon, not just met. Because Wrekin holds the BSI Kitemark as the product designer, we take full responsibility for every stage of design, manufacture and testing. This direct accountability gives our customers confidence that every gully grate, manhole cover and surface box performs exactly as intended, consistently, reliably and safely. Being based in the UK means we’re close to the people and the networks that use our products. Our engineers are on the ground, listening to customers and building their feedback directly into our designs. This ongoing collaboration ensures our products address real-world challenges such as extreme traffic loading, climate impacts and the demands of live-site installation. Our Unite and Highway ranges are tested to exceed the performance criteria outlined in CD 534 v0.2.0 and BS EN 124. 
Why it matters who holds the KitemarkWhen you specify ironwork, the name on the cover should match the name on the BSI Kitemark. That’s who is legally and technically responsible for the design, testing and ongoing compliance of the product. If certification sits offshore with a foundry, so does control, out of sight and out of reach. When it sits with a UK-based designer and manufacturer, accountability stays where it should be: visible, local and directly answerable to you. With CD 534 v0.2.0 now in force, this clarity of responsibility has never been more important. Visible design ownership and manufacturer-held certification ensure genuine compliance and long-term confidence in your network. Designed for the road aheadOur ironwork is developed by engineers who understand the challenges faced on site and across the network. Whether it’s reducing failures, simplifying installations, or improving whole-life cost performance, our products are designed to perform for decades, not just to pass a test. That’s the Wrekin Advantage.
Making every day betterThe update to CD 534 v0.2.0 reinforces the importance of quality and consistency in Britain’s road infrastructure. Our commitment remains the same, to design, manufacture and supply products that don’t just comply with standards but set the benchmark for performance and reliability. That’s how every day is made better, that’s the Wrekin way. CD 534 v0.2.0 compliant ranges
