Svanen - Nordic Ecolabel
In terms of assessment of building products used in Nordic Swan-labelled houses, BASTA is not allowed to comment as this must be assessed in the Swan's Husprodukt-/SCDP portal. These criteria are dealt with in chapter 4 chemical products. There are also criteria for logbook (O15), see more information below.
Chapter 4 Chemical products, building products, building materials and materials
Many of the criteria set for construction products in the Nordic Ecolabel are included in the BASTA system. However, all articles to be used in the Swan-labelled building must be approved in the Swan's own House Products Portal.
The Swan does not accept that the product was checked by another party and thus none of the rating levels in the BASTA system can be used.
Criterion – O15 Product list and logbook of the building
BASTA's log book service meets the requirement for a log book. However, criteria are also set that there must be information about content. This is fulfilled if eBVD exists for all articles.
The logbook service is linked to eBVD and if there is an eBVD, this is shown on the article, both as information and in the attached PDF file.
