Construction Products Regulation updated
The recast EU CPR is now published, including new rules on traceability, product LCA and end-of-life information. The CPR defines harmonised rules for all construction products placed on the European market, defining how to express not only technical and safety performance, but also now environmental performance, LCA, carbon footprint, traceability and end-of-life (recyclability and reusability). pinfa made input to the preparation of this revised text in 2021 (pinfa Newsletter n°121) and via contacts with professional organisations in the construction industry. A key development in the recast Regulation is the construction product “digital passport” including Declaration of Performance and Conformity (DoPC) and other information. The revision also aims to facilitate certification of prefabricated and modular systems, including façade systems. Fire safety is reinforced, with more detail in para. 2 of Annex I (Basic requirements for construction works).
pinfa has launched work to update our Technical Brochure “Innovative & Sustainable Flame Retardants in Building and Construction” (56 pages, 2017). Input is welcome.
