Approving Assessment Reports

When an assessment is ordered and is ready to be published, the assessment will be sent for approval to the supplier.
When this happens, the ECOproduct contact person at the supplier will receive an email stating that an assessment is ready for approval:

The supplier must now log in to NOBB Supplier and select:
ECOproduct Assessments → Pending Approval

Click on the assessment:

The following page will appear, showing how the assessment will look and how it performs in relation to BREEAM-NOR.
As with the standard view, you can also see details and the background for the scores in the different categories.

There are two buttons for proceeding with the assessment:

• Approve

• Reject

Approve

You have two options:

1. Approve and Publish:
   Here, the supplier can choose to approve and publish the assessment.
   Once this is done, the assessment will be available in ECOproduct at http://NOBB.no .

2. Approve, but Do Not Publish:
   Here, you may choose to approve the report (there are no errors), but the scores and BREEAM-NOR compliance are too poor to warrant publishing.
   You provide a reason for why you do not wish to publish and click OK.

The report is now sent back to the ECOproduct admin, and the preliminary assessment is archived with a specific status that prevents it from being published.

Reject:

This option is used to reject the report entirely.
There must be formal errors in the report that make it unsuitable for approval or publication.

A reason for rejection must be provided before the report can be rejected.
The report is then sent back to the ECOproduct admin for further processing.
The preliminary assessment changes status to prevent publication.
The system also sends an email reminder to the administrator in ECOproduct admin in connection with this.
