Amendment 93 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 19
(19) Where harmonised standards lay down the rules for the assessment of performances with regard to essential characteristics relevant for the construction codes of Member States, harmonised standards should be rendered mandatory for purpose of application of this Regulation, as only such standards reach the goal of permitting the free circulation of products, whilst ensuring the Member States’ ability to request safety and environmental, including climate-related, product characteristics in view of their specific national situation. differences in climate, geology and geography and other different conditions prevailing in the Member States.When pursued together, these two goals require that products are assessed by a single assessment method, therefore the method needs to be mandatory. However, voluntary standards can be used to make product requirements, specified for the relevant product family or category by Delegated Acts, even more concrete, following the path of Decision 768/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council. In line with Decision 768/2008, those standards should be able to provide a presumption of conformity with the requirements covered by them.

Amendment 109 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 47
(47) In order to be able to make informed choices, users of construction products should be sufficiently well informed about the environmental performances of products, about their conformity with environmental requirements and of the degree of fulfilment of manufacturer’s environmental obligations in this regard. Therefore, the Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts to establish specific labelling requirements which might include the easily understandable traffic light labelling.deleted

Recital 7
(7) Pursuing the environmental goals, including the fight against climate change, makes it necessary to establish new environmental obligations and to lay the ground for the development and the application of an assessment method for the calculation of the environmental sustainability of construction products based on EN 15804 and widely used Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) by construction product manufacturers. This is essential to ensure the correct calculation of the environmental impact at the building level according to EN 15978. For the same reason, it is necessary to extend the range of regulated economic operators, since distributors, suppliers and manufacturers all have a role to play in the calculation of the environmental sustainability in the construction sector. That range should therefore be extended into two directions, downstream from the distributors to the economic operators preparing re-use and remanufacturing of construction products and upstream from the manufacturer over the suppliers of intermediate products and/or raw materials. Moreover, certain operators coming into play in the context of dismantling used products or other parts of construction works or remanufacturing and re-use thereof need to contribute to a safe second life of construction products.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 33
(33) In order to reduce the burden for economic operators and in particular manufacturers, economic operators issuing declarations of performance and declarations of conformity should provide those declarations by electronic means, be authorised to provide those declarations by permalink to an unamendable document or to include in those declarations permalinks to unamendable documents. In order to simplify the supply chain communication, declarations of performance and declarations of conformity should additionally be made available in a machine-readable format. This would allow the user to perform via an app a conformity check with the application rules of the Member State where the product is used. An important prerequisite for machine-readable declarations is a standardised IT format, which is required for each harmonised technical specification. The CEN Workshop Agreement CWA 17316 "Smart CE marking for construction products" provides a basis for the development of harmonised XML formats for declarations of performance, which could be used to complement harmonised standards and harmonised technical specifications accordingly.
