For you applying for your first assessment, we have outlined the steps to follow below, step by step. 


Create a Personal User Account 

On our website, you can create a personal account by filling in your user information. Choose the account type ‘Apply for assessments and administer our own products (as a manufacturer/supplier)’.    

 

Subscribe to an Annual Plan 

To assess products, an annual subscription is required. If you are the first person to register an account for your company, you will need to subscribe by selecting a level based on the estimated number of assessments you will apply for over the next 12 months. Here you can read more and view our price list. 

If you are the first person to create an account for your company, we will also ask you to provide your company information. Otherwise, this information will already be pre-filled. 

  • If you are the first person at your company to create an account and subscribe to an annual plan, you will automatically receive a Supplier Full Account (included in the annual subscription).  

  • If your company already has an annual subscription and you wish to create a personal account, you can choose the free ‘Supplier Limited Account’ type if desired. 

 

Before Assessment 

Prepare all product information for the assessment application. Before you start assessing your products, we recommend familiarizing yourself with our documentation and reporting requirements. 

When you apply through our digital application form via the 'Apply for Assessment' option, you can digitally fill in a Building Product Declaration (BPD), as well as a Certificate of Substance Content and Concentrations, if desired.Form 

Tips: 

  • We recommend having all documentation ready before submitting an assessment application. Missing documentation or information may prevent a complete assessment. Having all documentation prepared from the start allows us to comprehensively review the documentation from the start, enabling a shorter assessment process. 

  • By adding a clear product description and product image, your product will be easier for customers to find and recognize. 

On our website, you will also find detailed manuals to help you manage your assessments step by step. 

 

Apply for Assessment 

Log in to your account and click the ‘Apply for Assessment’ button. Here, you can fill in all relevant information about the product. During the application process, attach the required assessment documentation for your product. Our digital tool will guide you through the process, asking relevant questions based on your product type. Once you have completed all the information, click ‘Submit’ to send us your application.

  • We offer free introductory meetings with one of our assesors. Contact us at bedomning@byggvarubedomningen.se for more information. 

  • We also provide free webinars, including introductory meetings for those who want to learn more about us, and sessions on our environmental assessments, documentation requirements, and the assessment process.

Byggvarubedömningen Conducts an Assessment 

Byggvarubedömningen’s role is to thoroughly review documents and provide feedback if updates or additional information are needed. In your assessment result, you will receive: 

  • The product’s overall assessment. 

  • Information on any missing or optional documentation that can be supplemented to potentially change the assessment result. 

If additional information is required, this will be specified in the assessment result. If the product is ready for publication, you will be notified and can then review and publish it. 

Form 

Tips: 

  • Do you have questions during the assessment process? Contact our support team by email or phone – we are happy to help! 

  • Supplementary information is sent in via our website when the product status is ‘Additional information required’. You can upload the required information and add clarifying comments as soon as you receive the assessment result. Note that the maximum file size for uploads is 4 MB. 

  • You can extend the supplementation deadline as needed via the ‘My Products’ page. Under ‘Action’, select ‘Extend end date by 14 days’. You can extend the deadline multiple times by clicking the button. 

  • You always have the opportunity to review the assessment before choosing to publish it. 

 

Publish the Assessment 

When the assessment is ready for publication, you can review and choose to publish it. Once published, the product becomes searchable for your customers and Byggvarubedömningen users.

Tips: 

One way to increase your exposure is to incorporate Byggvarubedömningen into your marketing. You can: 

  1. Display the current assessment symbol (overall assessment for the product) alongside the assessed product. 

  1. Use our company logo with a note that your products are assessed by Byggvarubedömningen. Read more about marketing guidelines here. 

 

Keep the Assessment Updated! 

If there are changes to the product’s composition or if you wish to add updated or new assessment documents, you can apply for a reassessment. Reassessments are included at no extra cost in your annual subscription (except for confidentiality assessments, which are an additional service). 

Form 

Tips: 

  • You can update article specifications, product images, and customer-relevant attachments (e.g., installation instructions, technical data sheets) in a published assessment. Go to the ‘My Products’ page and select ‘Edit Product’ under ‘Action’. If you need to import a larger number of articles, the import product items template is available on our website here.
