CAM Certification

Certimac certifies compliance with the Minimum Environmental Criteria of construction products

FIND OUT HOW WE WORK
What the legislation requires
Minimum Environmental Criteria (CAM), defined in the Ministerial Decree of 11/10/2017, were formulated by the Italian Ministry of the Environment and the Protection of the Territory and the Sea, to raise awareness and guarantee the use of environmentally sustainable solutions and products. Verification of conformity provided by the CAM takes into account many factors that refer to the entire life cycle of the product: from the determination of the recycled content, to the emissions of volatile organic substances and dangerous substances, also aimed at a sustainable management of the disposal. 

Compliance with CAM in construction is mandatory:
  • in the case of assignment of design services and works for the new construction, renovation and maintenance of public buildings
  • for thermal and acoustic insulation materials only, in the case of energy requalification interventions that require recourse tax deductions (Ecobonus 110% - DL 34/2020)
  • Division

    How to obtain the CAM certification

      Certimac supports manufacturers of building materials in calculating and verifying the percentage of material recovered or recycled.

      It issues - on behalf of the producer / importer - a product certification attesting the recycled content through the clarification of the mass balance, which consists in the verification of a self-declared environmental declaration, in compliance with the ISO 14021 standard.
      VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) are chemical compounds of various kinds, formed by molecules of different nature, but all characterized by high volatility, i.e. the ability to evaporate easily in the air, even at room temperature and therefore just as easily to be inhaled, particularly in confined spaces.

      Certimac supports manufacturers of building materials through tests that allow them to evaluate and quantify emissions, in order to ensure compliance with the limits prescribed for the different types of products.
