CERTIFIKAT
BREEAM NOR
BREEAM is an abbreviation of Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method and is originally a British environmental certification model for building projects. The model is used today in more than 70 countries. BREEAM-NOR is the Norwegian one the adaptation of BREEAM and the construction industry’s own tool for measuring environmental performance.
The purpose is to motivate sustainable design and construction throughout the entire construction phase – from design to handover of the building.
For chemical building products such as glue, putty, sealant and foam, there is a requirement that selected, problematic substances are not to be included and that a measurement/analysis has been carried out that documents that the product’s emission to the indoor climate complies with set limits.

NORDIC SWAN
The Nordics’ official environmental label.
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel is the official ecolabel in the Nordic region and among the world’s most stringent environmental certifications. Both because it sets strict absolute requirements, and because the brand is based on a life cycle assessment and an overall perspective. Precisely the overall perspective is the foundation for the Nordic Ecolabel – and it is what distinguishes an official environmental label from many other brands.
The aim of the Nordic Ecolabel is to reduce the overall environmental impact from production and consumption. Therefore, the Nordic Ecolabel looks at the product’s entire journey and the environmental problems that arise along the way – to the benefit of people, the environment, the climate and the earth’s resources.
The Swan label stands for:
– strict environmental requirements – in all relevant phases of the product’s life cycle
– Strict requirements for chemicals – for the benefit of the environment and health
– Ongoing tightening of requirements – to create sustainable development
– Certification and control – to create trust and security
EPD (Environmental Product Declaration)
An EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) or environmental product declaration, as it is also called, documents a construction product’s environmental properties and is developed according to recognized European and international standards.
We use industry EPDs from the European industry association FEICA.
Below you will find products for which we have prepared EPDs.
