New European standards for building materials
Building Materials, you change. They come from the European Union new rules, which came into force in those days, to be fully operational by 1 July 2013.
Require the labeling of hazardous substances used in construction. The will of the European Parliament has been to protect, through clear communication, both immediate and simple construction workers, both the end user. In practice, for each building material will be required to provide a statement in which they must be information on hazardous substances, as well as provides for the Reach legislation that is going to speed in recent months.
Simplification
The European Parliament has also thought about how to make this process easier for small businesses that might be found in distress in the face of this obligation. First of all products made with traditional methods or used for the preservation of property assets, not strictly industrial processes will be exempt from the Declaration of performance and secondly the EU states will designate points of contact for products in order to give information about building materials and their use, in an accessible and free of charge.
Clarity
"With this proposal, we have tried to make the single market work more effectively - said during the meeting in Brussels, the British rapporteur Catherine Stihler, the Labour Party - Let us have systems in the clearest way that products placed on the market have standard higher and the construction industry has an internal market fairer. " But the European Union has not addressed only to protect workers and consumers. Changes were made to the legislation, in fact, that target also protect the environment, recycling of products for building and monitoring the performance of the same, throughout the life cycle. We are not yet Ecolabel generalized for the building and then to the property, but the labeling of the building material is still a big step forward.
