The BASTA system
The objective of BASTA is to speed up the phasing out of dangerous substances in construction products. BASTA´s "properties criteria" are at the heart of the system. These criteria build on the EU chemical legislation, REACH, which focuses on the phasing out of the most hazardous substances.  By asking your suppliers to confirm that their products meet the BASTA criteria you can avoid using hazardous substances in your building projects. Read more about how to Build with BASTA!

In the BASTA system, it is the suppliers themselves that determine whether their products meet the criteria. We therefore place a number of formal quality requirements on all suppliers who join BASTA. Please feel welcome to sign our supplier agreement!external link

The database contains only those products that meet the properties criteria. You can search by product or supplier name, or use the advanced search. The database is freely available for everyone to use; the database can be accessed without a password or membership.  Search the database using the search window on the right (only available in Swedish).
