Certifications

For the uninitiated, the requirements in product/service certification reference systems may appear complex.

To promote understanding and to facilitate access to certification requirements, the CSTB is now posting online “Factsheets”.

The objective of the “Factsheets” is twofold:

  • highlight the added value of the product and/or service certifications offered by the CSTB;
  • provide specifiers with the data they need to include in their call for bids (the factsheets may be downloaded as PDFs).

Each factsheet presents in a single page:

  • the certified characteristics;
  • the methods of assessment for admission and monitoring (audit and/or test, frequency, etc.).
