There’s so much interesting research and innovation in Europe around sustainable materials. But unfortunately since US and Canadian codes don’t reference (essentially, trust!) the Eurocodes or other international standards, everything has to be retested at great expense for the North American market

Btw – the Eurocodes are specifically structural standards, so they apply here. But elevators, windows, electrical, plumbing, egress – none of that is in the Eurocodes. If you don’t know exactly which kinds of codes/standards you’re referring to, safer to say “European codes and standards.”
