    Yes, that was my conclusion as it wasnt stated on the box. Thanks. What dyou mean about the shelf life though - surely its guaranteed for x years?

    See my link, the product has a shelf life, which surprised me.

    Hadnt picked that up first reading , but I did see it says 'Highly durable, with a service life similar to roof structure and finishes' - surely a shelf life cant imply that packed away in a box, it doesnt have durability ?? Weird since it has durability once under a ridge tile outside in all temperatures for the life of a normal roof. How odd.
    Apologies by the way , I meant BBA certificate earlier .

    Interesting the words the use:

    Ventilation compliance to BS5250:2011. Mechanical fixing compliance to BS5534:2014. Manufactured to German Standard DIN 4108

    It doesn't say it has been certified or even tested to these standards

    In terms of the shelf life, I guess it is relating to the adhesive going "off" before being used, flashband is much the same.

    Ah, most probably yes. Thanks. Wonder what holds it down to the tiles on the side bits that stick out from underneath then ,when the glue goes --especially when used with a profiled tile like double Roman. Ive seen dry systems where the hip tile comes well down to meet the mat , but these Cromar universals without a tray ,seem to sit high and leave a big gap . Dont like the look at all.
