Construction product compliance

We take responsibility for the compliance of building products used in your new or renovation project. Technically sound and site-appropriate products are essential for ensuring the safety and health of a building. Our product specialists help enhance the long-term durability of your property. Low emissions are also part of product compliance.

On behalf of the developer, we ensure that each building product meets the applicable technical requirements, especially when compliance is not otherwise demonstrated. We prepare product specifications and produce the necessary technical documentation for your project.

We present the performance requirements for building products clearly in the design documents. We also support manufacturers in preparing the technical documentation required for CE marking, such as declarations of performance and relevant national application standards.

We review product approval documents on behalf of the developer, contractor, and designer. In addition, we maintain up-to-date compliance records throughout the project for both the developer and contractor.

"Product compliance ensures the safety, healthiness, low emissions, and long-term durability of a building."

Building products are a shared responsibility across all project stakeholders

European and national regulations governing building products continue to evolve, creating new challenges for all parties involved in construction. To ensure that you, as a contractor, procure compliant products for a new build or renovation, we define the required performance levels in the design documents.

• Manufacturers, importers and distributors are responsible for ensuring appropriate CE marking, product approvals and technical documentation.
• Developers are responsible for verifying product compliance before use.
• Designers must specify the required product characteristics and performance levels in the design plans.
• Contractors must ensure that the products used meet the specified requirements.
• The site manager are responsible for keeping the product compliance inspection record up to date on-site.
• Building and market surveillance authorities oversee the conformity of construction products.

Consultancy and training on building product compliance

We offer consultancy, training, and development support related to the approval and compliance of building products for developers, contractors, designers, manufacturers, importers, and distributors.

We are actively involved in the product specification project led by the Finnish Association of Consulting Firms (SKOL), which will result in product specification guidelines for architects and structural designers covering the most common CE-marked construction products.

You can also rely on our expertise in project planning, project management, and construction supervision. In addition, we offer specialised know-how in circular economy solutions and provide life cycle carbon footprint calculations for your project.
