Events
The European Parliament adopted, by 498 votes to 124 with 16 abstentions, European Parliament amendments to the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products, amending Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 and repealing Regulation (EU) 305/2011.
The matter was referred back to the committee responsible for inter-institutional negotiations.
Purpose of the Regulation
The revised Construction Products Regulation (CPR) should:
- lay down conditions for the placing and making available on the market of construction products defining harmonised rules for expressing the environmental and safety performance and life-cycle assessment of construction products in relation to their essential characteristics;
- establish obligations incumbent on economic operators dealing with construction products or their components or with double use products, including the de-installation and reuse of those products.
This Regulation contributes to the efficient functioning of the internal market by ensuring the free movement of safe and sustainable construction products in the Union and to the objectives of a green and digital transition by preventing and reducing the impact that construction products have on the environment and on the health and safety of people.
‘ Construction product’ means any product or a kit which is produced and placed on the market or supplied to the construction site for incorporation in a permanent manner in construction works or parts thereof within the Union, including 3D-printed products or other items covered by this Regulation.
Reducing complexity
The CPR is a piece of legislation that should be understandable and implementable by economic actors throughout the value chain . The amendments therefore aim to clarify, reduce bureaucratic burden and - in same cases - delete provisions that present a real risk of regulatory overreach.
Legislators should be careful not to create uncertainty by introducing unnecessary adjustments.
Division of powers
Members believe that Member States should set the safety level of construction works in accordance with their responsibilities to their citizens, while the EU sets the framework conditions for the internal market. Member States should remain competent to adopt provisions relating to construction works.
Essential characteristics of products
The essential characteristics of construction products should be identified by the Commission, taking into account the regulatory needs of the Member States and Union safety, environmental, circularity and climate objectives.
Members consider that priority should be given to the elaboration of standards . The Commission should be able to supplement the Regulation by adopting delegated acts where this is genuinely necessary in the interests of the internal market: for example, in the event of unjustified delays in adopting standards, where there is an urgent need to adopt standards or where essential characteristics are not covered by the standard.
CE marking
A CE marking should be sufficient proof of the conformity of a product with the characteristics and requirements laid down by this Regulation. Member States should not therefore introduce any barriers to their markets based on characteristics and requirements that are not covered by the harmonised zone.
Construction products standards
Construction products standards should be established by the European standardisation organisations on the basis of a standardisation request issued by the Commission. The Commission should adopt implementing acts laying down a clear and stable set of rules for the whole standardisation process including roles, responsibilities, competences and the general procedural deadlines for all stakeholders involved as well as templates to be used.
Digital gateway
To facilitate this communication, Member States should register in the Single Digital Gateway all their national regulatory and administrative measures directly or indirectly influencing the usability of construction products on their territory.
Supply of the declaration of performance and of the declaration of conformity
To simplify 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 via an app to check conformity 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.
Obligations of all economic operators
The economic operator should be able to present all documentation, including the declaration of performance and the declaration of conformity, to the authorities using the digital construction products passports.
Unless the safety of the products or the safety of the construction works is adversely affected, the manufacturer would be subject to the following obligations:
- design and manufacture products and their packaging in such a way that the protection of human health and their overall environmental sustainability are maximised , including for climate and biodiversity, as well as energy and resource efficiency, indoor air quality and the avoidance of substances of concern unless a lower level:
- ensure that, where technically and economically feasible and without impacting the safety of construction works, by 10 years after the adoption of performance classes in accordance with Article 4(4), point (a), or Article 5(2), all products placed on the market fall within the two highest environmental performance classes established;
- without creating unjustified barriers to the single market, give preference to local, reusable, sustainably sourced bio-based or recyclable materials, materials gained from re-use or recycling and by-products, while taking into account the environmental and climate impacts of transporting such materials;
- comply with the minimum recycled content obligations and other limit values relating to aspects of environmental sustainability, including climate sustainability, biodiversity and the efficient use of energy and resources, set out in the harmonised technical specifications;
- make available, at least in the permalinks of their own websites or by means of QR codes and in the digital product passport, relevant instructions for use.
Obligations relating to 3D printing of construction products
A natural or legal person who 3D prints construction products should (i) satisfy with the obligations incumbent on manufacturers when placing their products on the market; (ii) use the appropriate 3D data sets; (iii) ensure that the materials used have undergone the procedures applicable to products under the Regulation; (iv) ensure that the information provided by the manufacturer of the 3D data set and the information provided by the manufacturer of the printing equipment coincide.
Establishment of a digital passport for construction products
Members introduced a new article stipulating that the Commission should adopt delegated acts to establish a digital passport for construction products. The digital passport should contain the declaration of performance or the combined declaration of performance and conformity, product information and technical documentation.
The digital passport should be accessible free of charge to all economic operators , customers, users and authorities by means of QR codes, a bar code, an RFID chip or a permalink.
The digital passports should be accessible on the manufacturer's website, in its database or on an online platform chosen by the manufacturer of the products concerned for ten years after the last product has been placed on the market. The Commission should establish and maintain a register storing the information contained in the construction product passports by means of delegated acts.
Legal and planning certainty for the transition period
While the Commission proposes that Regulation (EU) 305/2011 be repealed with effect from 1 January 2045, Members propose that that Regulation be repealed with effect from the date of entry into force of this Regulation, with some exceptions which would be repealed with effect from 10 years after its date of entry into force.
Parliament proposed that the Commission should establish, no later than six months after entry into force, a working plan for transition and standardisation priorities covering at least the following three-year period. The work plan should be publicly available, regularly updated and contain a list of product families considered to be priorities for issuing standardisation requests.
The Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection adopted the report by Christian DOLESCHAL (EPP, DE) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products, amending Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 and repealing Regulation (EU) 305/2011.
The committee responsible recommended that the position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure should amend the proposal as follows:
Purpose of the Regulation
The revised Construction Products Regulation (CPR) should:
- lay down conditions for the placing and making available on the market of construction products defining harmonised rules for expressing the environmental and safety performance and life-cycle assessment of construction products in relation to their essential characteristics;
- establish obligations incumbent on economic operators dealing with construction products or their components or with double use products, including the de-installation and reuse of those products.
This Regulation contributes to the efficient functioning of the internal market by ensuring the free movement of safe and sustainable construction products in the Union and to the objectives of a green and digital transition by preventing and reducing the impact that construction products have on the environment and on the health and safety of people.
‘ Construction product ’ means any product or a kit which is produced and placed on the market or supplied to the construction site for incorporation in a permanent manner in construction works or parts thereof within the Union, including 3D-printed products or other items covered by this Regulation.
Reducing complexity
The CPR is a piece of legislation that should be understandable and implementable by economic actors throughout the value chain. The amendments therefore aim to clarify, reduce bureaucratic burden and - in same cases - delete provisions that present a real risk of regulatory overreach.
Legislators should be careful not to create uncertainty by introducing unnecessary adjustments.
Division of powers
Members believe that Member States should set the safety level of construction works in accordance with their responsibilities to their citizens, while the EU sets the framework conditions for the internal market. Member States should remain competent to adopt provisions relating to construction works. The harmonised zone should also apply to public contracts, grants or other positive incentives with the exception of fiscal incentives.
Essential characteristics of products
The essential characteristics of construction products should be identified by the Commission, taking into account the regulatory needs of the Member States and Union safety, environmental, circularity and climate objectives.
Members consider that priority should be given to the elaboration of standards .
The Commission should be able to supplement the Regulation by adopting delegated acts where this is genuinely necessary in the interests of the internal market: for example, in the event of unjustified delays in adopting standards, where there is an urgent need to adopt standards or where essential characteristics are not covered by the standard.
Product information requirements
All construction products covered by this Regulation should, prior to their placing on the market, satisfy the product information requirements set out in Annex I Part C3. The product information requirements set out in Annex I Part C3 may be specified for the respective product family or category by means of delegated acts adopted by the Commission or by means of standards following a standardisation request made by the Commission.
Construction products standards
Construction products standards should be established by the European standardisation organisations on the basis of a standardisation request issued by the Commission. The Commission should adopt implementing acts laying down a clear and stable set of rules for the whole standardisation process including roles, responsibilities, competences and the general procedural deadlines for all stakeholders involved as well as templates to be used.

- make available, at least in the permalinks of their own websites or by means of QR codes and in the digital product passport, relevant instructions for use.
Establishment of a digital passport for construction products
Members introduced a new article stipulating that the Commission should adopt delegated acts to establish a digital passport for construction products. The digital passport should contain the declaration of performance or the combined declaration of performance and conformity, product information and technical documentation.
The digital passport should be accessible free of charge to all economic operators, customers, users and authorities by means of QR codes, a bar code, an RFID chip or a permalink.
The digital passports should be accessible on the manufacturer's website, in its database or on an online platform chosen by the manufacturer of the products concerned for ten years after the last product has been placed on the market. The Commission should establish and maintain a register storing the information contained in the construction product passports by means of delegated acts.
Legal and planning certainty for the transition period
While the Commission proposes that Regulation (EU) 305/2011 be repealed with effect from 1 January 2045, Members propose that that Regulation be repealed with effect from the date of entry into force of this Regulation, with some exceptions which would be repealed with effect from 10 years after its date of entry into force.

The work plan should be publicly available, regularly updated and contain a list of product families considered to be priorities for issuing standardisation requests.
PURPOSE: to lay down harmonised rules for the making available on the market and direct installation of construction products.
PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.
ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
BACKGROUND: Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (the Construction Products Regulation or CPR) lays down harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products. The CPR ensures the smooth functioning of the single market and the free movement of construction products in the EU. It does so through harmonised technical specifications, which provide for a common technical language on how to test and communicate the performance of construction products (e.g. reaction to fire, thermal conductivity or sound insulation).
In order to contribute to the objectives of the European Green Deal and the Circular Economy Action Plan, and to ensure safe construction products, inherent product requirements related to safety, functionality and protection of environment, including climate, are necessary.
CONTENT: the proposed Regulation seeks to achieve a well-functioning single market for construction products ; and to make the framework apt to contribute to the objectives of the green and digital transition, particularly the modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy.
Its specific objectives aim to:
- unblock the technical harmonisation system;
- reduce national barriers to trade for products covered by the CPR;
- improve enforcement and market surveillance;
- provide more clarity (more comprehensive definitions, reducing overlaps, collision rules with other legislation) and simplification;
- reduce the administrative burden, including through simplification and digitalisation;
- ensure safe construction products;
- contribute to reducing the overall climate and environmental impact of construction products, including through the application of digital tools (Digital Product Passport).
The proposal:
- improves the standardisation process which has been underperforming and is outdated . In the absence of appropriate standardisation at the EU, environmental and safety performances of construction products are addressed in different ways at the national level, leading to a divergence in the requirements for economic operators;
- defines the scope, including construction products, 3D-printing related products and services, key parts, part or materials if requested by the manufacturer, kits or assemblies covered harmonised technical specification or EADs, pre-fabricated one-family houses;
- defines the basic work requirements and modalities to establish the essential characteristics (performance-based, e.g. recycled content) of construction products;
- empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts defining thresholds and classes of performance in relation to the essential characteristics as well as delegated acts containing technical specifications and those concerning technical progress or to cover new risks and environmental aspects;
- defines the ‘ harmonised zone ’, as opposed to the areas under the responsibility of Member States. In addition, it sets up a mechanism to deal with Member States imperative regulatory needs on health, safety or protection of the environment, including climate;
- lays down provisions governing the declaration of performance (DoP) and its applicable exemptions (including for micro-enterprises who do no trade cross-border, under certain conditions: for remanufactured products or for parts of construction works prepared for re-use or remanufactured);
- lays down rules on declaration of conformity (DoC). To minimise the administrative burden, the DoC should be combined with the DoP. The DoP and a DoC can be supplied in an electronic format or via a permalink. They should be supplied in the languages required by the Member States where the manufacturer intends to make the product available;
- sets the general principles and conditions for the CE marking and for use of other markings;
- defines the environmental obligations for manufacturers including the obligation to declare the mandatory sustainability characteristics, the global warming potential , and performance-based requirements or the minimum recycled content ;
- provides for simplified procedures in order to reduce the administrative burden, particularly for SMEs and micro-enterprises;
- empowers the Commission to set up an EU construction products database or system to facilitate the access to product information (especially DoP, DoC and instructions for use).

Amendment 102 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 44 (44) In view of enhancing the circularity of construction products, in line with the goals of the Circular Economy Action Plan, manufacturers should favour re-use, remanufacturing and recycling of their products, as well as through appropriate use of by-products. The (preparation for) re-use, remanufacturing and recycling require certain design, namely by facilitating the separation of components and materials at the later stage of recycling and avoiding mixed, blended or intricate materials. As the usual instructions for use will not necessarily reach the economic operators in charge of (preparation for) re- use, remanufacturing and recycling, the necessary information in this regard should be made available in product databases or systems and on the manufacturer’s websites, in addition to the instructions for use.
Amendment 103 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 44 a (new) (44 a) The use of bio-based construction products to improve the embodied carbon performance of buildings must ensure that the overall climate impacts of biomass production are included in a level-playing-field , whole lifecycle assessment approach and demonstrate lower global warming potential than alternative construction materials. Similarly, a lower relative impact is also to be demonstrated on other key environmental impact indicators such as land-use and bio-diversity. Construction material sourcing should not contribute to land use change, such as deforestation and forest degradation.
Amendment 104 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 44 a (new) (44 a) Considering the fact that climate and environmental impacts of certain construction products are more significant than others, prioritisation of sustainability measures, both in terms of product requirements and harmonised specifications, should be clearly highlighted. Concrete is responsible for a large share of embodies emissions of the construction sector due to the large volumes in which it is consumed and should therefore be specifically tackled in this revision.
Amendment 105 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 44 b (new) (44 b) Given their significant impacts on our carbon budget and environment, construction products should be subject to the same level of stringency as other products covered by the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation. Hence, the Construction Products Regulation must mirror all obligations and requirements set for other products under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation. This means that the Construction Products Regulation formally operates independently, but should be benchmarked against the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation in case it does not deliver equal provisions.
Amendment 106 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 45 a (new) (45 a) The construction products should be due to their climate and environmental impacts subject to equal level of stringency as other products covered by the [Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation]. It is therefore needed to align the CPR with the obligations and requirements set for other products under the [Ecodesign for Sustainable Products].
Amendment 107 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 46 a (new) (46 a) Considering the huge impact on our carbon budget and the environment, construction products should have the same type of requirements and level of stringency as products covered by the[Sustainable Product Ecodesign Regulation]. Therefore, the CPR should reflect the similar obligations and requirements set for other products under the[Sustainable Product Ecodesign Regulation]. While the CPR formally operates independently, it should be aligned with the SPR to provide equal provisions.
Amendment 108 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 47 Amendment 109 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 47 Amendment 110 #
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 reporting based on environmental product declarations (EPDs) as well as and labelling requirements which might include the easily understandable traffic light labelling.
Amendment 111 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 90 (90) In order to enhance the use of sustainable construction products whilst avoiding market distortions and to reach alignment with the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, Member States’ public procurement practice should target the most sustainable amongst the compliant products. Requirements applicable to public procurement contracts set out by

Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 a (new) (5 a) There are another emerging innitiatives very relevant for the construction sector and the built environment as the revision of the Energy Performance of Building Directive (EPBD) and the New European Bauahus innitiative (NEB). The Construction Products Regulation needs to built clore relations with the EPBD, especially in relation to the design of sustainable and efficient construction products in order to achieve energy efficiency. The NEB should also have a key role improving the quality of construction products from the design to the industrial development through innovation.
Amendment 86 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 a (new) (6 a) Climate change is a challenge that trascends borders and requieres inmediate and ambitious action. The transition to a climate-neutral economy by 2050 represents a great oportunity as well as a challenge for the Union, its Member States, citizens and business from every sector. To this aim, Cohesion policy is a crucial tool in delivering a fair transition to a climate-neutral economy by leaving no one behind.
Amendment 87 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7) Pursuing the environmental goals, including the fight against climate change
Amendment 88 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) The compliance of construction products with Union legislation often depends on the compliance of their key parts with that legislation. However, because key parts are often integrated into various construction products, the protection of safety and of the environment, including climate and biodiversity, is better achieved when those key parts are assessed upstream, that is when the performance and conformity of key parts will be assessed beforehand and independently from the assessment of the final construction product into which they are integrated. Similarly, market surveillance becomes more efficient when non-compliant key parts can be identified and targeted. Hence, it is necessary to lay down rules applicable to key parts of construction products.
Amendment 89 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 18 (18) In order to strive for a maximum of regulatory coherence, this Regulation should to the extent possible build on the horizontal legal framework, in this case namely on Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012
Amendment 90 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 18 a (new) (18 a) Considering that the climate and environmental impacts of certain construction products, such as concrete, are more significant than others, the prioritization of sustainability measures, both in terms of product requirements and harmonized specifications, should be clearly highlighted.
Amendment 91 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 18 b (new) (18 b) Highlight that concrete is responsible for a large part of the emissions of the construction sector due to the large volumes in which it is consumed and the amount of energy that needs to be used for its production, should be specifically addressed in this review.
Amendment 92 #
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 overall environmental, including climate

Amendment 94 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 20 (20) In order to contribute to the objectives of the European Green Deal and the Circular Economy Action Plan, and to
Amendment 95 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 20 (20) In order to contribute to the objectives of the European Green Deal and the Circular Economy Action Plan, and to ensure safe construction products, safety being one of the goals to be pursued in the legislation based on Article 114 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), inherent product requirements related to safety, functionality and protection of environment, including climate and biodiversity, are necessary. When setting these requirements, the Commission should take into account their potential contribution to achieving Union climate, environmental, biodiversity and resource and energy efficiency objectives. These requirements do not merely relate to the performance of construction products. Contrary to its predecessor Directive 89/106/EC, Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 does not provide for the possibility to establish such inherent product requirements. However, certain harmonised standards for construction products contain such inherent product requirements which can relate to environment, to safety or simply to the good functioning of the product. These standards demonstrate that there is a practical need for such requirements on safety, the environment or simply the functioning of products. Article 114 TFEU as the legal base of this Regulation also imposes the pursuit of a high level of protection of the environment, health and human safety. Thus, this Regulation should (re-)introduce or validate inherent product requirements. Whilst these requirements
