Webinars: Boverket's New Building Regulations

Note that the webinars will be held in Swedish.

We are organizing two webinars focused on the new building regulations and how to work towards compliance. The webinars are aimed at those involved in construction projects, the building permit process, or as suppliers of building products. However, anyone interested in learning more about the new regulations is welcome to attend.

Webinar 1: Opportunities, Challenges, and Quality Assurance

In the first webinar, you will receive an introduction to the new building regulations: What do they actually mean, and how will they impact the industry? We will go through the changes, challenges, and opportunities they bring, as well as how you can credibly work towards meeting the new requirements.

You will get examples of available support and tools, and we will explain how existing quality assurance systems and certifications can be used to ensure compliance. We will cover some common certification systems for building products, such as CE marking, type approval, and P-marking, explaining their purposes and differences. Additionally, we will introduce a method for verifying industry recommendations based on the IEC/ISO 17029:2019 standard.

Webinar 2: Type Approval of Building Products and Systems and Verification of Guidelines

Using type-approved building products and systems helps ensure that key requirements related to fire safety, moisture resistance, acoustics, and energy efficiency are met. In the second webinar, you will gain a deeper understanding of what type approval entails and how it can facilitate compliance and quality assurance in construction projects.

You will learn about the process of obtaining type approval for a building product, and we will review different requirements and verification methods used, based on real examples of type-approved building products and systems. Additionally, we will provide tips and insights on what to consider throughout the process.

We will also take a closer look at the verification of industry recommendations. Quality-assured industry recommendations describe professional execution and serve as guidance for meeting the functional requirements of the new building regulations. We will present the first verified industry recommendation, Säker Vatten’s "Dimensioning of Tap Water Pipes", and the work involved in developing a method for verifying industry recommendations based on the IEC/ISO 17029:2019 standard.
