BASTA-product requirements

BASTA products

The BASTA register contains products that meet the system’s more stringent chemical composition criteria. The requirements are defined in the BASTA Property criteria document.

In the search view a green BASTA marker represent the BASTA registered products.

Products registered in BASTA do not contain any substances of very high concern and risk-reduction substances. Furthermore, the BASTA registered products meet the requirements for GOLD in Miljöbyggnad 3.0 “Substitution of substances of concern”* and BREEAM SE.

In addition to the basic requirements shared by BASTA and BETA, the BASTA property criteria has additional requirements on substances that are sensitizing, acutely or chronically toxic and environmentally hazardous, as well as on volatile organic compounds.

*) The emission requirements on GOLD-level is not covered by the BASTA-system.

As parts of the product have limited information about the content, the proportion of the product’s total weight that meets Basta, Beta, Declared, RoHS and Unknown is stated. The product can be covered by deviation management in, for example, Miljöbyggnad, if parts of the content are specified as Declared (phasing-out substances) or RoHS / Unknown (unknown content).

BETA products

The BETA register contains products that meet the system’s basic chemical composition criteria. The requirements are defined in the BETA Property criteria document.

In the search view a yellow BETA marker represent the BETA registered products.

Products registered in BETA do not contain any substances of very high concern. Furthermore, the BETA registered products meet the requirements for GOLD in Miljöbyggnad 2.2 and SILVER in Miljöbyggnad 3.0 “Substitution of substances of concern” and BREEAM SE . BETA has no restrictions on risk-reduction substances.

The manufacturer of Beta-products are obligated to provide a risk assessments as well as environmental and safety information. Those documents need to show how to handle said product during for example the construction and demolition phase.

The DECLARED register contains products that do not meet the BASTA or BETA criteria but where there is complete knowledge of the products’ chemical content.

In the search view a blue DECLARED marker represent the DECLARED registered products.

DECLARED is adapted for circular materials as a verified mean value is accepted in terms of content.

For DECLARED, the phasing and risk reduction properties of the product are specified and a safety data sheet or a building product declaration is attached with the registration.

DECLARED products demands deviation management in Miljöbyggnad.

DECLARED to BASTA

“DECLARED to BASTA” products change their chemical content during use when the product cures or dries.

In the search view, “DECLARED BASE” is displayed with the following symbol.

“DECLARED to BASTA” provides better information about the product when built in and improved understanding how the products shall be handeled in case of reconstruction or demolition.
