Spec text checker

What fire class does the spec name for the cladding?

Paste the specification text and see every line that names a fire class, with the sentence around it. The checker shows what the text says, not whether a product complies.

The text is checked in your browser and is not uploaded or sent to Modou. Only your contact details and counts are sent.

What the checker looks for

The checker looks for two kinds of mention. First, a Euroclass notation such as B-s2,d0 or D-s2,d0: a class letter, a smoke level (s) and flaming droplets (d). Second, fire wording such as brandklasse, reaction to fire, EN 13501-1 or fire resistance.

Brandklasse and fire resistance (brandwerendheid) are often used for each other in specifications. That is why the checker shows the whole sentence: you can see for yourself which of the two a line means.

The checker does not judge evidence, not even a classification report or a test report. What a supplier shows you, you check yourself.

Questions about this checker

What does the checker do exactly?

It searches the text you paste for a Euroclass notation and for fire wording, and shows every sentence that holds one. It also shows whether the text names FSC, PEFC, chain of custody, MPG, MKI, BREEAM or CO2.

Is my specification text sent anywhere?

Your text is not: the checker runs in your browser and your specification text is not uploaded or sent to Modou. Your contact details and a short summary of the result (counts of terms found) are, once, before you see the result.

Does the checker tell me whether my cladding meets the required class?

No. It only shows what the text names. Modou does not test or certify products and does not check classification reports.

What if the checker finds nothing?

Then the text names nothing here. That is itself something to ask the client before you price, for example in your tender queries.

Does Modou calculate MPG, MKI or BREEAM?

No. Modou does not calculate them and prints no score for them. The checker only shows whether the text names them.

Can Modou do more than one pasted text?

Yes. Modou reads a whole tender package: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, IFC2x3, IFC4 and DXF. It lists every requirement with the document and place it came from. Modou is still in development.

More explainers, free tools and requirements for estimators are in the Knowledge hub.
