Recital 18 a (new)
(18 a) To provide predictability for manufacturers, public authorities and the wider construction ecosystem, the Commission should, at the latest 6 months after the entry into force of this Regulation and based on a scientific and evidence-based approach, adopt a working plan, covering at least 3 years, laying down a list of product groups for which it plans to adopt requirements and standardisation requests.

(28) In particular, in the case of energy- related products included in ecodesign working plans which are also construction products and for intermediary products, with the exception of cement, priority for the setting of sustainability requirements will be given to the [ESPR]. This should be the case for instance fore intermediary products concerned are heaters, boilers, heat pumps, water and space heating appliances, fans, cooling and ventilating systems and photovoltaic products, excluding building- integrated photovoltaic panels. In this respect, a detailed definition of energy- related products together with a full list of energy-related products which are also construction products shall be drafted by the European Commission within the framework of the [ESPR] with the aim to avoid unnecessary legislative overlaps and duplications of sustainability requirements which may hinder the internal market. This Regulation may still intervene in a complementary manner where needed, mainly in relation to safety aspects also taking account of other Union legislation on products such as on gas appliances, low voltage, and machinery. For other products, in order to avoid unnecessary burden for economic operators, the need may arise in future to determine the conditions under which the fulfilment of obligations under other Union law also fulfils certain obligations under this Regulation. The power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission to determine such conditions.
Amendment 319 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 40
Recital 40
(40) To create transparency for users of construction products and to avoid inappropriate use of those products, construction products and their intended use should be precisely identified by the manufacturer. For the same reason, the manufacturer should make clear whethern the construction products are intended for professional use only, or also for use by consumers. To ensure that construction products can be traced back, manufacturers should be indicated on the product or, where this is not possible e.g. due to the product’s size or surface, on its packaging or, where that is not possible either, in a document accompanying it.
