In addition to laboratory testing, a classification application is always required to obtain a classification. Applications must be submitted through the application portal.
All applications must be submitted through the application portal for processing. The processing of applications submitted by email or post cannot be guaranteed. Users log in to the application portal with personal credentials, which are created during the first login.
Once the contact person's information has been verified by Building Information Foundation RTS, the contact person is linked to the company account. Applications submitted by the contact person will then be visible both to the contact person and to the company's main administrator.
By submitting an application, the applicant commits to paying Building Information Ltd. the classification fee according to the current price list, as well as any other fees associated with granting the classification.
To obtain a classification, laboratory testing and a classification application are always required. The application must include both the test report and the requested product information.
The Recycled Materials and Products Classification can only be granted by Building Information Foundation RTS. Applications are submitted through the application portal and are reviewed confidentially by an impartial classification working group.
If the products to be classified are highly similar in terms of intended use and their physical and chemical properties, they may be classified as a product group. Product grouping should be completed before the testing and application stages so that the classification working group can select the product(s) to be tested, thereby minimizing testing costs.
