The impact of certification om the construction industry (English)
Abstract [sv]

I detta examensarbete undersökes betydelsen av certifieringen för byggmaterial ute i byggbranschen. Studien har bedrivits på grund av bristen på information i hur certifieringen har påverkat byggbranschen. För att en producent skall kunna inneha certifiering för sin produkt krävs det att man genomgår en procedur som styrs av ett certifieringsorgan. Målet med att bli certifierade är en kvalitetsutveckling i material och producera mer hållbart och effektivt material. De som skapar direktiv och krav är EU och certifieringsorgan i Sverige som Nordcert erbjuder producenter denna certifiering vilket betyder att producentens produkt klarar EUs krav och innehar rätten att säljas inom EUs gränser. En kontakt med producenterna som upprätthölls var grund till denna studie. Kontakten skapade intervju med 19 producenter totalt och dessa intervjuer blev resultatet i denna studie. Frågeställningarna som besvarades lyder: · Har certifieringen bidragit till en effektivisering av material? · Har certifieringen bidragit till en kvalitetsutveckling i material? · Har certifieringen bidragit till förbättringar inom arbetsmiljön? · Finns det något samband mellan olika tidpunkter av certifieringen? Resultaten tyder till stor del att certifieringen har påverkat producenterna en hel del i och med vad den bidragit med. Det framstår att certifieringen följer ett samband i dess påverkan gentemot producenterna. Det framgår att certifiering är en lönsam process att genomgå för producenter då det gynnar dem i deras kvalitets-, arbetsmiljö- och effektivitetsutveckling.

Abstract [en]

In this thesis the impact of the certification for building materials in the construction industry is examined. The study has been conducted because of the lack of information on how the certification has made an impact on the construction industry. In order for a producer to be able to hold certification for his product, it is necessary to undergo a procedure that is controlled by a certification body. The goal of becoming certified is a quality development in materials and produce more sustainable and efficient materials. Those who create directives and requirements are EU and certification bodies in Sweden that Nordcert offers this certification to producers, which means that the producer's product meets the EU requirements and holds the right to be sold within the EU borders. A contact with the producers that was maintained was the basis for this study. The contact created interviews with 19 producers in total and these interviews were the result of this study. The questions that are answered read: • Has the certification contributed to improving the efficiency of materials? • Has the certification contributed to a quality development in materials? • Has the certification contributed to improvements in the work environment? • Is there any connection between different times lengths of the certification? The results largely indicate that the certification has affected the producers a great deal in terms of what it has contributed to. It appears that the certification follows a correlation with its impact on the producers. It is clear that a certification is a profitable process to go through for producers as it benefits them in their quality, efficiency and work enviromental develompent.
