Type approval

A type approval is a statement confirming that the product has been assessed to meet the requirements specified in the Swedish building regulations, as indicated in the type approval. The rules for type approval are outlined in both the Planning and Building Act and the Planning and Building Ordinance, as well as in the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's regulations and general advice on type approval and manufacturing control.

The type approval system is a voluntary scheme and an accepted and frequently used method to demonstrate the suitability of products for their intended use. A type approval for our types of products, such as faucets, encompasses both mechanical and hygienic property requirements.

Type approval can only be issued by accredited certification bodies in Sweden.

Type approval includes evaluation, review, and decisions based on accredited testing, installation instructions, self-inspection, and annual supervised manufacturing control. The annual supervisory manufacturing control is a condition in the type approval and a prerequisite for maintaining its validity. The purpose of the control is to verify the product's properties over time.

Our products are type-approved by RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden).
