Details

For wider rules on placing construction products on the market, read Construction Products Regulation (CPR) in Great Britain.

Designated standards for construction products support Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011, as amended from time to time.

These standards, together with the relevant horizontal   standards on assessment methods, create a common technical language for assessing construction products. UK approved bodies use them when carrying out assessments.
