What is registered in the BASTA system?

The BASTA system's criteria are divided into different criteria areas. A criteria area can either be mandatory or optional. 

Mandatory criteria are: 

• Organisation 
• Article identifier 

The companies connected to the BASTA system must meet the organisational criteria and registered articles must meet the criteria linked to article identifiers. When the mandatory criteria are met, information about the article can be registered in one or more of the following optional criteria areas:

• Article information 
• Health and environmental hazards
• Circularity
• Renewability
• Environmental effects - EPD
• Emissions and tests

In order to obtain a grade for your product, it is mandatory to assess and register whether the product meets the criteria in the criterion area "Health and environmental hazard" or not.

Within Health and environmental hazards

No substance information is generally registered, with the exception of a limited number of substances covered by declaration with information requirements.

Information about constituent substances is only presented in BASTA audits when the assessment and documentation are reviewed, read more about this in the BASTA criteria document.

NOTE:
To increase the exposure of the article to the people searching the database, it is recommended to fill in as much article information as possible and to upload the construction product declaration, safety data sheet and other relevant official information in connection with the registration.
