Ecological Building Materials Certificate

In order to achieve ecological balance, to protect the health of living things and to keep the nature clean, eco label applications have been accelerated. The application, which first started in EU countries, spread all over the world in a short time. In our country, authorized institutions affiliated to the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization make eco-label applications for various sectors. The related certification companies have undertaken various applications such as environmental impact, environmental management, permit and inspection in building materials. The independent and impartial certification body operates within the framework of international norms and standards.

Environmental awareness and environmental awareness are the main objectives of eco label applications. Accordingly, various international standards have been established. Authorized certification firms also apply certification for the product groups to which these standards have been applied. These organizations, which are neutral and independent, give an environmental label by checking whether the products are produced with environmental and nature awareness. Ecological certificate applications are also available in building materials. Paints, varnishes and floor coatings are the main products of the ecological building materials group.

Ecological building materials certification is applied in paints and varnishes. Especially in interior applications, this application is more. Floor coverings and floor paints are also ecological building materials that are certified. There is also a certificate application for primers and primers. White pigments are much less in these product groups which are given environmental label. White pigments, which are used in small amounts, are produced in an environmentally safe manner. Solvents to be used in paints are also very low in ecological building materials. None of the building materials with the green label contain heavy metals, toxic substances and carcinogens. It is the environmental label on the products that certifies and proves all this.

What is Ecological Building Materials Certificate?

The document proving that white pigments are used very low in the construction materials such as paint, varnish and primer, these pigments are applied in a way that does not harm the environment, the solvents are used in a limited way, and it does not contain heavy metals and carcinogenic substances are called ecological building materials certificate. The certificate is issued by international independent and impartial organizations. We can understand with this document that building materials are composed of components that do not threaten human health and are produced with environmental awareness.

Ecological standards for building materials have been established by the European Union. Ecological certificate applications can be made for all materials within the scope and can be obtained if appropriate. Independent and impartial certification companies such as Ekomark in our country certify both building materials and other product groups. In order to obtain a certificate, an application must be made to the institution and the examinations must be carried out in full.

Ecological Building Materials Certification Certification Process

As with other product groups, the application of the company is mandatory in order to obtain an ecological certificate in building materials. Any company should apply for an ecological certificate for building materials. After the application, the certificate company makes a preliminary examination and decides whether the product is within the scope of the ecological product.

For products within the scope of ecological products, an ecological building materials certificate agreement is signed with the related company. The certificate certification process will be started with the contract. In this process, sample products are requested from the relevant company, the company supplies the sample products to the certification institution, and the product is subjected to various tests and analyzes. As a result of the tests and analyzes, it is decided whether the product is an ecological building material or not. Ecological building materials certificate is given for suitable building materials. With this document, the company obtains all rights of the product.
