The building sector is a set of business lines that work together to form a building. For this purpose, it is called the construction sector in order to define the area in which the enterprises producing or providing services are working. Other sectors will feed the construction sector. Because of this capacity, it is directly related to the economic structure of the country. In addition to their basic functions, building materials must meet certain criteria in terms of fire safety, energy saving, health, hygiene and the environment.
The Ministry of Environment and Urbanization issued the Building Materials Regulation in 2013. The purpose of this regulation is to explain the basic properties of building materials, the required performance declarations, the rules for affixing the CE marking to the materials and to determine the principles regarding the placing and placing of building materials on the market. This regulation is also based on the Construction Materials Directive 305 / 2011 / EU published by the European Union.
In order to prevent unfair competition in the construction sector and to provide quality and safe products to customers, the quality certificates of the manufacturers are of great importance. In order to confirm that the building materials placed on the market meet the specified criteria, audit and certification studies are carried out by independent organizations. These activities contribute to the construction of safer and more durable buildings and the development of the construction sector.
