Our assessments

We assess building products based on their chemical content, environmental impact, and social effects to promote the development of a toxin-free and responsible built environment.

Why an assessment?

Byggvarubedomningen, which is owned by leading Swedish construction operators, offers a platform for wise choices of building products. Through our assessments, construction projects can take responsibility for the products used, which contributes to sustainable buildings and facilities for future generations. Both suppliers and manufacturers gain valuable insight into the impact of their products on people and the environment, as well as exposure to major players in the industry.

 

How do we make our assessments?

The assessments are based on criteria designed by the Construction Product Assessment's two criteria groups, one for chemical content and life cycle aspects, and one for sustainable supply chains. The criteria follow strict national and international standards including REACH, the CLP regulation, as well as directives on human rights and environmental protection. Expertise from member organizations, and where necessary external experts, ensures that the assessments are comprehensive and up-to-date.
