Invitation to the BASTA-day!
Come and share an eventful day with us – this is a perfect opportunity meet others within your field in BASTA’s design/sign!

BASTA has now published a new newsletter.

To all our participating suppliers.
As of the 1 of January 2017 the following change will be done in the BASTA-criteria:

IVL has together with Svensk Armaturindustri–Valves & Fittings of Sweden and The Swedish Flooring Trade Association developed guidance documents for two specific product groups that do not meet the BASTA or BETA criteria.

The European Commission has today presented a proposal of scientific criteria for identifying endocrine disrupting chemical substances.

In the next few days we will launch our new supplier interface for more efficient registration and updating of the articles in the BASTA-system.

In addition to phasing out toxic substances at home Sweden currently wants to pursue a harder line with regards to chemical issues in the EU.

Update 2016-03-08: The problem is solved and the registration works as usual again.

A significant proportion of construction products on the market contain substances with undesirable properties.

IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, together with Swedish Armature industry has during the last few years pursued a project.

Construction companies and manufacturers will via a new database be able to register and take part in building product declarations (eBVD’s).

France may obtain a national law on substitution of risk chemicals.
