Performance rankings in construction

This article delves into the identification of key requirements and performances in the construction sector, placing a particular emphasis on the concept of performance within the framework of building engineering. It highlights how the performance of a construction product is defined, discusses the notion of performance-based specification, and details the classification of performances into various areas and categories. A portion of the article is dedicated to the evaluation and certification of these performances. Additionally, the article tackles extra performance classifications, particularly acoustic classifications and the fire resistance of materials. Lastly, the certification process and the involved organizations are thoroughly described, thereby providing a comprehensive view of performance evaluation in the field of construction and the regulatory mechanisms that support it.
