When you see a product with a Kite mark this means BSI has independently tested it and has confirmed that the product conforms to the relevant British Standard, and has issued a right to the company to use the Kite mark. The manufacturer pays for this service and their product is tested, and the manufacturing process is assessed at regular intervals.

The Kite Mark for Copper Industries

The Kite mark is the world's premier symbol of trust, integrity and quality. We at copper industries are very proud having this associated with our products as it reassures customers that Copper Industries has satisfied the most rigorous of quality processes.

The British Standards Institute Kite mark is a globally recognised symbol of quality, indicating the product it relates to has undergoone some of the most scrupulous testing processes in the world.

Also we see our Kite mark as a point of differentiation, reassuring customers that Copper Industries has an ongoing commitment to quality and safety.

Improved specifications

The performance and durability of these British Standards are, of course, capable of improvement and various options are available to you the customer. Predominant amongst the preferred options are:

Quick recovery - Increasing the heating surface of indirect units, these “Quick Recovery” cylinders give improved reheat times, a must in homes where hot water is at a premium.

Heavier base - The introduction of a heavier base, either to grade 1 or grade 2 specification, offers improved resistance to corrosion. The new draft BSI specification effectively supports this improvement in that grade 3 cylinders will in future have this heavier base.

Extra insulation - Additional factory applied insulation will improve the thermal retention properties of the cylinder.
