    Tens of thousands of assessed products

    Together with SundaHus, iBinder offers one of the market's leading system for informed choices of materials in the construction and real estate industry. The system allows you to search from thousands of assessed products. Our experienced chemical specialists document the content of the products and assess them against a number of criteria, based on supplier documentation.

    The assessment criteria are based on the Swedish Chemicals Agency's KIFS 2005:7 regulations on classification and labelling, the European Parliament and Council's CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, and the Swedish Chemicals Agency's PRIO priority guide.

    Monitoring function

    The service includes a monitoring function, which allows the system to be adapted to the client's own requirements. Clients can have a special symbol displayed in the system next to the products concerned, such as a hand, a yellow triangle or a green flag. Requirements can range from specific substances or groups of substances to emissions and documentation requirements.

    For example, we provide monitoring based on various building certification systems such as Miljöbyggnad, BREEAM-SE and Nordic Ecolabel. We also develop customised monitoring based on client needs for different projects.

    An in-depth assessment process

    Products are assessed based on various characteristics and divided into five classes: A, B, C+, C- and D.

    A

    A comprises products that:

    • have minimal impact on health or the environment linked to PRIO properties, according to the Swedish Chemicals Agency (e.g. carcinogenic, endocrine-disrupting and allergenic substances)
    • are not classified as hazardous to health or the environment at the construction stage
    • do not adversely affect the indoor environment through excessive emissions of volatile organic compounds
    • contribute minimally to smog formation
    • do not emit excessive levels of formaldehyde (according to the E1 standard)
    • have minimal impact on natural resources and contribute less to landfill
    • have a long technical life (for selected product groups)
    • do not risk contributing to unsustainable forestry
    • do not have insufficient transparency about the content of the product.

    B

    B comprises products that do not qualify for A but do not match the criteria for C+ or C-.

    C+

    C+ comprises products that risk exposing workers, nearby communities and the environment to particularly hazardous substances from the manufacture of polymers.

    C-

    C- comprises products that:

    • may lead to exposure to substances with ‘PRIO’ properties (e.g. carcinogenic, endocrine-disrupting and allergenic)
    • may lead to exposure to substances with other toxic properties
    • may adversely affect the indoor environment through excessive emissions of volatile organic compounds
    • contribute significantly to smog formation through emissions of volatile organic compounds
    • contain or have been produced from substances that, if released in very small quantities, can have a significant impact on the climate
    • risk contributing to unsustainable forestry

    D

    These are products that have insufficient documentation to be assessed.
