No dangerous substances through BASTA
BASTA is a Swedish registration system with the objective to establish an industrial standard for maximum levels of very dangerous substances in construction products, and to demonstrate a system for phasing out construction products which contain dangerous substances.
In the BASTA system, the Swedish construction sector has agreed on a common definition of the substances properties, which is used for deciding whether a product is accepted or not. The supplier has to confirm that the products meet the set of criteria. To ensure credibility, the system is supplemented by quality assured auditing.
At ege, extensive work has been undertaken to improve environmental properties of the company’s carpets, thus qualifying ege carpets for BASTA registration. The BASTA registration means that we can confirm that carpets from ege do not contain dangerous substances.
BASTA appears on product specifications for the individual products.
