How to get assurance on the quality of construction materials?

• Almost everyone knows situations when a self-proclaimed expert recommends choosing this or that construction material, saying – trust me, I’ve used it I don’t know how many times!
• Take into account that the result of any construction works will depend on the choice of construction products, their quality and suitability for the intended purpose of use, as well as the professionalism of the construction workers.
• You can be sure of the conformity and suitability of construction products for your specific needs only by getting acquainted with the documentation certifying the quality of the construction product provided by the manufacturer.
• Therefore, when choosing construction products, pay attention to the information provided by the manufacturer about the intended use of the construction product and its declared operating characteristics.
• However, if low-quality construction material comes into your hands, contact the Consumer Rights Protection Center (PTAC). PTAC implements the protection of consumer rights and interests, incl. in relation to construction products.
• If you yourself know little about the construction process and construction products, hire a certified construction specialist – you will find it here https://bis.gov.lv/bisp/lv/specialist_certificates .
