The revised EU Construction Products Regulation officially came into force on January 7, 2025, bringing updates to the regulatory framework for construction products.
However, despite its adoption, nothing will change in the short term for CE marking and EU declarations of conformity, including those in the fire safety industry.
Evolving compliance
Until new harmonised technical specifications are developed and adopted - based on a forthcoming standardisation request - the existing harmonised standards will continue to apply.
This means that manufacturers will continue operating under the current system until the necessary updates are made over the coming years, with active involvement from Euralarm and its members.
Ambitious objectives
The revised CPR seeks to improve the regulation by addressing practical challenges while introducing new ones
The revised CPR seeks to improve the previous regulation by addressing practical challenges while introducing new objectives such as climate neutrality and digitalisation.
In the future, key changes will include a joint Declaration of Performance and Conformity, incorporating product compliance, environmental impact, and consumer safety criteria.
The introduction of a Digital Product Passport, which will enhance transparency and digitalisation while an Environmental Product Declarations will become mandatory.
EPD compliance path
The EPD will quantify environmental impact of a product from production to raw material recovery. Euralarm remains committed to supporting its members through this transition and ensuring a smooth adaptation to the new regulatory landscape.
