During the period from 1st November 2021 to 10th February 2022, Market Surveillance Agency of BiH and market inspections of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republic of Srpska completed joint market surveillance of thermal insulation products for buildings.
This is one of the two construction product groups
that were subject to surveillance under the
Law on Construction Products in FBiH and
the Law on Construction Products in RS, in accordance with the Annual
market surveillance plan for 2021.
Objectives of the proactive surveillance of thermal
insulation products for buildings were the surveillance of implementation of the Law on Construction Products in FBiH
(Official Gazette of FBiH, 78/09) and the
Law on Construction Products in RS (Official Gazette of RS, 5/12), as well
as market monitoring and withdrawal of non-compliant products from the market
of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
During the implementation of proactive surveillance, 6
inspection controls of thermal insulation products for buildings were
conducted. Inspectors performed administrative control of documentation and
visual inspection of products. In total, 6 types of thermal insulation products
for buildings were controlled. It was found that 5 types of products (83%) were
compliant with the laws, while the non-compliances were found in 1 type (17%).
The economic operator was ordered to remove the
non-compliances in 1 type (119 m2) of thermal insulation
products for buildings, and the economic operator did that. The non-compliances
were the following: thermal insulation product for buildings did not have the appropriate
conformity marking and the product was not accompanied by a declaration of
conformity or a technical instruction.
Based on the results of proactive market
surveillance activities, it can be concluded that most of the thermal
insulation product for buildings on the market of Bosnia and Herzegovina comply
with the applicable regulations.
