    Frequently asked questions

    What products require mandatory certification in Singapore?

    Concrete (RMC and precast), structural steelworks, water-efficient fittings, and green building materials must be certified before use in construction projects.  

    How long does construction certification take?

     Timelines vary based on the certification scheme you are interested in, product type and testing requirements, but Element offer streamlined processes to reduce wait times.

    What is the Green Building Scheme?

    The Green Building Scheme is an initiative by the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC) aimed at supporting the building industry in achieving sustainability and creating an environmentally-friendly built environment. It promotes green building design, practices, and technologies to improve environmental sustainability within the construction sector.

    Why is WELS certification important?

    WELS certification ensures that products meet water efficiency standards, contributing to the conservation of water resources. It helps consumers choose products that are more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient, and it is a mandatory requirement for selling certain water-related products in Singapore.

    How is Element involved in the Singapore Standard (SS EN 1090)?

    Element's Singapore Sungei Kadut Loop is participating in a pilot project initiated by the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) to support the harmonization of local regulations with BS EN 1090. Element's UK BM Trada division, which has extensive experience with CE marking for structural steel, is also contributing to the process.

    What is the requirement for Ready-Mix Concrete (RMC) suppliers in Singapore?

    Since 1 October 2010, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) in Singapore requires all Ready-Mix Concrete (RMC) suppliers for construction projects to have third-party certification. This certification must be based on SS EN 206, SS 544-1, SS 544-2, and the SAC certification criteria “CT 06 – SAC Criteria for Ready-Mixed Concrete Producers.”

    What is the BS EN 13369 certification for Precast Concrete Products?

    The BS EN 13369 certification is a set of "Common Rules for Precast Concrete Products" that ensures the quality and compliance of precast concrete products. The Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC) announced the certification of this standard to all Certification Bodies in December 2022 to become mandatory by 2024, as regulated by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) of Singapore.
