General Information:

Content of CPR:

EU-wide harmonized product

and testing standards

CE-marking and
Declaration of Performance (DoP)

Member states have to accept

CE-marked products without
any hindrance, but
member states are allowed
to regulate the application

The declaration of performance shall

be supplied in the language or the
languages required by the Member
State where the product is made
available (Art. 7,4) Slide 5

Construction Product Regulation

Changes because of CPR:

Significance of CE-marking
As of today the manufacturer has to document by the CE-Mark

Manufacturer
that he takes the
responsibility for the
conformity of the product with
the declared performance
(DoP)

as well as the compliance with all applicable requirements laid down in

the CPR and in other relevant Union harmonization legislation providing
for its affixing.

CE-marking has to be based on the DoP

Content of DoP results from the harmonized technical specifications
(hENs, e. g. EN 14509, EN 14782, EN 1090-1; or ETAs)

Slide 7

Slide 8
Construction Product Regulation

Changes because of CPR:

Definition of economic operators

Manufacturer: Fabricates the product, distributes

it under his own brand, is
reponsible for DoP and CE

Manufacturer: Appoints an authorised

representative and transfers some
of his obligations to him

Importer: places a product, manufactured outside

of the European Economic Area, onto the
European market (e. g. as an own
trademark)

Distributor: Makes a product available on the

market (e. g. as an own trademark or
with the manufacturers trademark)

Slide 9
Construction Product Regulation

Changes because of CPR:

An importer or distributor shall be considered a manufacturer for the

purposes of the CPR

and shall be subject to the obligations of a manufacturer pursuant to

Article 11,

where he places a product on the market under his name or trademark or

modifies a construction product already placed on the market in such a
way that conformity with the declaration of performance may be affected.

Tasks for those responsible for placing the product on the market:

Commissioning of a notified body based on the system of Assessment and

Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) valid for the product

If mandatory:
Execution of external inspection and surveillance in each plant based on the
requirements of the harmonized specification (EN or ETA)

Slide 12
Construction Product Regulation

Obligations of the notified body:

Notified bodies shall provide the other

notified bodies with relevant information
on issues relating to negative and, on request,
positive results from these assessments
and/or verifications (Art. 53.2)

Notified bodies shall inform the notifying authority of the following (Art. 53.1)
e.g.:

any refusal, restriction, suspension or withdrawal of certificates

any request for information on assessment and/or verification of constancy of

performance activities carried out which they have received from market
surveillance authorities

Slide 13
Construction Product Regulation

Assessment and verification of constancy of performance (Art. 6):

The declaration of performance shall express the performance of construction

products in relation to the essential characteristics of those products

Standards (e.g. EN 14782, EN 1090-1 or EN 14509) or ETAs

define essential characteristics

Such performances have to be declared which are mandatory in the state where
the product is placed on the market
national specialties

The responsible for placing the product on the market has to declare the
performance of at least 1 essential characteristic.

DoP

DoP does not replace the application certificate/document

Member states can define own characteristics for the application

e.g. compliance with special levels or classes of performance

e.g. national approvals for application

DoP can be helpful to judge the performance of a product

DoP

has to be handed over to

the end user actively

DoP has to be archived on the building site by the end user

Slide 18
Construction Product Regulation

DoP

Recommendation to the manufacturer:

Declaration of many essential characteristics on the DoP

This promotes:

Comparability of the construction products

Strengthening of reliability

One voice

Support Transparency on the market

Application in all/many member states
