Are your digital assets centrally available via 2BA for your customers and relations?
The demand for high-quality product data continues to grow within the installation and construction sector in the Netherlands. The availability of digital assets of your products, including EPD declarations, CE certificates, datasheets, and various images, is crucial. This information supports your customers and partners throughout various processes, from design to maintenance and replacement.
For optimal product positioning digital assets are just as important as technical (ETIM) product data. Having access to related attachments and clear product images builds confidence when your products are discovered and reduces the need to respond to individual inquiries from buyers. This saves you and your partners valuable time and effort.
Wich digital assets are essential:
- Images: Visual representation of your product, including various views and ambiance shots.
- Declarations: Such as Environmental Product Declarations (EPD*) and Declarations of Performance (DOP).
- Certificates: Including REACH, RoHS, SDS, and CE certificates.
- Datasheets: Technical product sheets with detailed specifications.
- Manuals: Documents such as user manuals, installation instructions, and maintenance guides.
* Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a dossier documenting the environmental impacts of specific materials in a standardized manner, facilitating comparison between different materials. This data can be used for building-level assessment or building evaluations.
For optimal publication, you have the choice to provide attachments as physical files or direct URLs. It’s advisable to ensure attachments are structured with:
- Presentation order
- Language code (important for textual attachments)
- Attachment title
- Attachment description
