Construction Products Regulations<\/strong><\/p>\n On and from 1 July 2013, under \u00a0<\/a>Regulation (EU) No 305\/2011<\/a> (known as the Construction Products Regulation or the \u201cCPR\u201d), CE marking is mandatory for all construction products placed on the market in the European Economic Area and it is covered by:<\/p>\n a harmonised European product standard <\/a>or a European Technical Assessment\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n (These are used by manufacturers of products which are not covered by a harmonised European standard but who still wish their products to be CE marked).<\/p>\n The CPR aims to ensure that reliable performance-related data is made available, by means of Declarations of Performance, in relation to construction products being placed on the European market.<\/p>\n The primary purpose of the CPR is to break down technical barriers to trade in order to ensure the free movement of construction products across Member States within the European Union. It does this by harmonising those elements which previously led to barriers by providing for: –<\/p>\n It is important to note that the CPR does not aim to harmonise national building codes. Each Member State is free to set its own requirements on the performance of building works and, by virtue of same, construction products when in use. The choice of required performance values for specific intended uses to which construction products are put to rests with each Member State.<\/p>\n The Construction Products Regulation \u2013 Information Note<\/a> sets out the general objectives behind the CPR, the requirements that must be fulfilled in order to place construction products onto the market and the particular implications for manufacturers, importers and distributors that arise from the introduction of the Regulation on 1 July 2013 and provides some brief information for specifiers, designers and builders when using these construction products.<\/p>\n For more information about the CPR including a CE marking \u201cstep by step\u201d guide, see the European Commission\u2019s DG Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs website<\/a><\/p>\n Further information<\/strong> [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”3.0.87″ border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”all”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Contact Us” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.0.76″]<\/p>\n Building Control [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Forms” _builder_version=”3.0.76″ open=”off”]<\/p>\n\n
