BENOR is a Belgian quality label indicating that a construction material or product complies with Belgian standards (NBN) and the applicable technical specifications.
The label is managed by NBN (the Belgian Bureau for Standardization) and monitored by independent certification bodies.
In Belgium, it is a recognized benchmark for quality and compliance.
BCCA issues certificates granting the right to use the BENOR mark for, among others, ceramic products, glass, plastics piping products, roofing products, fibre cement and concrete repair.
BENOR certification is a voluntary quality label.
Certification is carried out on the basis of a BENOR certification scheme, whose technical requirements generally correspond to those of a Belgian standard.
In the absence of standards, BCCA develops complementary specifications such as PTVs (Technical Prescriptions – Technische Voorschriften).
BCCA as a sectoral body for BENOR
BCCA has been appointed as a Sectoral Body by BENOR npo. This means that we organize the Sectoral Committee for several construction sectors.
Within this committee, all stakeholders are represented and they establish, by consensus, the rules for a BENOR certification scheme. These rules are published as Implementation Rules (TRA).
When too few or no standards exist, a Sectoral Committee may establish a Technical Specification (PTV).

Why BENOR certification?
The purpose of BENOR certification lies in the added value this label brings in terms of quality, trust and market access.
Competitive advantage for manufacturers
- The BENOR label enhances a product’s image and commercial value.
- It can even provide access to markets where project owners explicitly require BENOR certification.
In summary: BENOR certification is not a legal obligation but a quality label that builds trust, reduces risks and opens access to important markets and projects.
Voluntary certification
Voluntary certification of products, management systems, people or processes is not a mere formality, but a real strategic choice.
By committing to it, companies strengthen their market position and actively contribute to a more responsible, sustainable and ethical development of the sector.
Choosing reliability today means building trust for tomorrow.
