Bewertung der Umweltverträglichkeit von Bauprodukten im Rahmen von bauaufsichtlichen Zulassungen

Assessment of the environmental compatibility of constructions products within the scope of technical approvals.

During the last years the effects of construction works on groundwater have moved more and more into the public spotlight. An assessment of the environmental compatibility has since then been carried out when granting technical approvals for specific construction products. Since environmental protection is an essential requirement for construction products within the scope of the European Construction Products Directive, in future also standardized construction products will have to be checked much stronger in this respect. This article introduces the assessment scheme according to which DIBt performs the evaluation of the effects on soil and groundwater for which construction products and which future development begins to emerge on standardized construction products.
