Register your articles in the BASTA system and expose your articles online in a system that is open for anyone to search in. The BASTA system makes it easier for anyone who wants to make conscious material choices. Show that you as a company work actively with health and environmental issues and contribute to a reduction of particularly hazardous substances in our society.
To get started with the registration of your articles in the Basta system, you need to register a user account on BASTAOnline.
Once logged in, you can register the company you represent. Then a cooperation agreement with BASTAonline needs to be signed. Be sure to take note of the terms of the cooperation agreement as well as the BASTA systems Properties criterias.
You can publish your articles when the company account is activated and invite others in your organization who will be able to manage your article register. The data you have registered will not be made public until you register the first article in the system.

A supplier’s guide can be found on the document page and you can download it for further information about registration of companies and articles. If you want to know more and get further in-depth information about Basta, you can visit the sections Criteria and Documents.
No content information is registered in the BASTA system, with the exception of a limited number of substances that are covered by the system’s information requirements. These are instead presented at a BASTA audit where routines, competence, content information and assessment data are reviewed. To increase the benefit for those who search the database, we recommend that you register the building product declarations, safety data sheets or other relevant official information in connection with the registration of an article.
Import via Excel
We supply an Excel Import file that can be used (on the documents page), to more efficiently, register a large number of articles in the database. Members of FINFO can get help to get the Excel template file filled with article data by contacting info@finfo.se
BASTA’s search function is public and no login is required to search for registered articles. Our website is bilingual (Swedish/English) and we have many users from countries outside Sweden.
Our logbook tool is used by contractors, municipalities and real estate companies to, among other things, certify buildings in, for example, Miljöbyggnad or to gain better control of what is built into properties and facilities.
We also share information about registered articles digitally. Users of that service are, for example, contractors, hardware stores or other related databases.
