The BL label Evaluation of newly developed building technologies for conformity to legal codes is the sign of reliability
The Building Standard Law sets forth building performance levels required for all buildings, and the ordinary specifications which meet the building performance levels required are stipulated in notifications by the Minister and others. Since the ordinary specifications are made for general construction methods and materials, some newly developed technologies may not be covered by their provisions. For this reason, the Law allows the Minister to review and approve the use of new methods and materials.
In such cases, CBL, as one of the "Designated Performance Evaluation Bodies" designated by the Minister, conducts the technical evaluation required prior to the Minister's approval.
