Approval in individual cases - type approval (BSW)

Detailed description

You need approval in individual cases or a project-related type approval (vBG) for a specific building project if it involves innovative or non-standardized construction methods. The notices regulate the use of building products or types of construction that do not comply with the generally accepted rules of technology or for which there is no general building authority proof of usability.

With approval in individual cases or project-related type approval, you have the opportunity to implement individual and innovative solutions in construction without violating building regulations.

Possible applications for which you require approval on a case-by-case basis or project-related type approval include:

Construction project in which a new insulation material is used that has not yet been approved by the building authorities
use of a fire curtain
Use of concrete with 100% recycled aggregate
