   It is important that in 2018 BSW started certification for sustainable development, as a reliable supplier of construction products in conformity with British standard BES 6001 and Sustainable Constructional Steel scheme (SCS CARES). Now the company is waiting for the updates regarding issuance of the certificate of conformity.
