Construction materials

Fire safety certificates and declarations of conformity for building materials, insulation and cables.

In short

Fire safety certificates and declarations of conformity for building materials, insulation and cables.

  • In Kazakhstan, fire safety conformity assessment is mandatory for some products and voluntary for others
  • Insulation, covering and roofing materials, fire dampers, fire doors and cables may be subject to assessment
  • In Ukraine, characteristics such as flammability, fire resistance, flame spread and smoke generation may be assessed
  • For longer-term documents, an audit of the production facility may be required

What to watch for in the construction materials sector

In Kazakhstan, the products that may be subject to assessment in terms of fire safety may include mineral wool, stone wool, thermal and sound insulation materials, PVC and plastic-based construction materials, wall, ceiling and roofing materials, fire dampers, cable ducts, fire doors and cables.

The fact that a product falls into one of these groups does not by itself determine the type of document. Under the legislation, conformity assessment in terms of fire safety may be mandatory for some products and voluntary for others, depending on the relevant legislation and demand.

In Ukraine, depending on the product’s characteristics, its flammability, fire resistance, flame spread, smoke generation and behaviour under heat may be assessed. For some product groups, longer-term certification may require an assessment of production conditions or an audit of the production facility.

In Saudi Arabia and Algeria, too, construction and building products are among the product groups for which the relevant technical regulations must be checked product by product.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find out which certificate my construction materials product needs?

It is sufficient to share the product name, HS code, technical characteristics, intended use and target country. On the basis of this information, the applicable technical regulation and conformity assessment method are determined.

How long does certification take?

It is not correct to give a single standard duration. It varies according to the scope, the tests required, whether the technical documentation is ready, whether a factory inspection is required and the procedures of the target country.
