Who is BEAL?

BEAL is New Zealand’s foremost specialists in testing, buildability and compliance of building products.
Based in Plimmerton, it provides testing, expert opinons, certification, and research services to manufacturers and importers from New Zealand, Australia, North America and Europe.

 At the core of BEAL’s specialist services, is the more than 30 years of practical experience in building work, systems and code requirements, that ensure speedy, professional support in getting new and innovative products to market. Examples of building products tested or certified cover:

• Exterior claddings including timber and composite weatherboards, fibre-cement sheet rainscreens, rendered AAC panels,  aluminium composite panels and many more types,
• Roof systems,
• Insulation products of all kinds,
• Rigid and Flexible Air Barriers, such as treated OSB and mineral boards
• Self-adhesive Sealing Tapes,
• Wet area waterproof membranes and shower bases,
• Sealants / adhesives of all kinds,
• Nails and Screws,
• Connectors,
• Pipe Gaskets,
• Windows and Doors … as a few examples.

More recently, BEAL have been assessing the structural performance of ‘Structural Insulated Panels’ including wall panels, floor cassettes and roof cassettes for those intending to pre-fabricate their buildings off-site.

A key benefit for using BEAL’s services, is the evaluation of building product ‘prototypes’. Prototypes are often necessary to test the market before the investment of time, money and resources are required for a National launch.

Note that all BEAL test reports and certificates are all covered by a comprehensive Professional Indemnity Insurance policy to provide Users, Councils and the Certificate-holders alike with peace of mind – just in case.
