HUSVIK products have got SINTEF Certification
SINTEF Certification issues certificates and approvals for construction products. Documentation is issued as SINTEF Product Certificates, SINTEF Technical Approvals and European Technical Approvals.
Technical Approval
SINTEF Technical Approval (TG) is a national approval system for building materials, components and construction systems, managed by SINTEF Certification. The purpose of an approval is to certify that a building product has been found fit for its intended use, when applied as stated in the approval. A SINTEF Technical Approval shall in one document also fulfil the requirements for documentation of construction product performance imposed by the Norwegian building regulations.
International applications
SINTEF Technical Approval is primarily a national approval system for the Norwegian domestic market. However, typetesting and other verifications carried out for a SINTEF Technical Approval may also be used as a basis for CE-marking or corresponding national approvals in other European countries. This can be done through SINTEF Certification’s international co-operation within the organisation UEAtc.
SINTEF Technical Approval may be issued for products that are already CE-marked, when supplementary product performance documentation for the Norwegian market is wanted.
Status
SINTEF Technical Approvals are issued by SINTEF Certification. As an independent body SINTEF Certification confirms that the product, when installed in a building construction, has the necessary properties and performance related to the essential requirements stated in the Technical Regulations under the Norwegian Planning and Building Act. A SINTEF Technical Approval is a technical specification according to Technical Regulations § 5-12. Normally, no further documentation of product performance should be required by the building authorities.
