Are there report date limitations I should know about?

Yes. Certain acceptances apply only to reports issued on/after specific dates (noted 1–7 in the table). Current thresholds are:

1. 2018-07-05 • 2) 2020-02-04 • 3) 2022-05-24 • 4) 2022-10-12 • 5) 2025-02-07 • 6) 2025-02-07 • 7) 2025-02-10. Check the corresponding note number on each table row.

How do I use the list when preparing for certification?

1. Identify your product type and standard (e.g., EN 1627 doors).

2. In the matrix, confirm which lab(s) are accepted for that line.

3. Ensure your test report date meets any note-based thresholds.

4. Submit the test report with your application to SBSC.

What about EFSG or EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR)?

For product types/specifications outside the matrix (including EFSG and CPR), contact SBSC to confirm acceptance.
