Technical Specification and BIM Object files functionality now live
We are delighted to announce the addition of the Technical Specification and BIM Object files functionality to the ETL, with benefits for purchasers, manufacturers, architects and designers as we journey to Net Zero.
Technical Specification filesprovide more detailed product information, such as size, dimensions, components, compliance certificates, installation instructions and more. These will aid purchasers when making buying decisions, so it’s of benefit for manufacturers to upload them.
