Scope
In-scope products above the cut-off volume. Broken chain rules apply (CN3.4).
Conditions
- certified under the CARES Sustainable Constructional Steel Scheme
- scores zero where the product is non-“compliant” (BREEAM’s word) with the broken chain requirements (Step 1.3, p. 285): organisations downstream of the certified one may lack their own certification only if they only handle or transport, or only fabricate, assemble or install under a recognised quality management system that prevents mixing with uncertified sources and operate in a jurisdiction with robust, well-enforced environmental, social and economic controls (CN3.4, p. 284)
