Construction Products Regulation (CPR) Compliance

36 Product Families. Mandatory Environmental Declarations. Is Your CE Marking Documentation Ready for the Revised CPR?

CPR compliance demands performance declarations, third-party verification, and CE marking for every construction product placed on the EU market—across 36 regulated product families. The revised Regulation (EU) 2024/3110 now requires environmental sustainability data and lays the foundation for mandatory Digital Product Passports. Certivo automates supplier evidence collection from test certificates to Declarations of Performance and Conformity.

WhatisCPR?

The Construction Products Regulation is the EU's mandatory product conformity framework governing how construction products are assessed, declared, and placed on the single market. The core obligation is ensuring every product covered by a harmonised standard carries a valid Declaration of Performance and Conformity (DoPC) and bears the CE marking before it reaches any EU buyer.

Key Components / Sub-Frameworks

• Declaration of Performance and Conformity (DoPC): Mandatory document declaring essential characteristics and regulatory conformity
• CE Marking: Conformity marking based on harmonised technical specifications
• AVCP Systems (Annex IX): Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance systems
• Harmonised Standards (hENs): Product-specific European standards developed by CEN/CENELEC
• Digital Product Passport (DPP): Digital data carrier for product information, performance, and environmental data
• Environmental Sustainability (Annex II): Predetermined environmental essential characteristics including GWP
