Product Safety & Market Access Certifications
Regulated Product Families Under Annex VII
Harmonised Standards Governing CE Marking
Phased Environmental Reporting Deadlines
The Construction Products Regulation is the EU's mandatory product conformity framework governing how construction products are assessed, declared, and placed on the single market. For supply chain and compliance teams, the core obligation is ensuring every product covered by a harmonised standard carries a valid Declaration of Performance and Conformity (DoPC) and bears the CE marking before it reaches any EU buyer.
Regulation (EU) 2024/3110 replaced the original CPR 305/2011 framework and organizes products into 36 families under Annex VII. Environmental sustainability declarations—starting with Global Warming Potential in 2026—are now phased in alongside traditional performance characteristics. Companies placing construction products on the EU market must collect test data, manage notified body certifications, and maintain documentation across every product variant.
CPR compliance requires product-level data—test reports, classification certificates, and factory production control records—from every manufacturing site. When harmonised standards are revised or new product families are added, your entire portfolio requires reassessment.
EU/EEA manufacturers of construction products covered by harmonised standards
Importers placing construction products on the EU market
Distributors making construction products available within the EU
Non-EU manufacturers selling through EU importers or authorized representatives
Online marketplace operators and fulfilment service providers (new under 2024/3110)
Companies assembling kits from multiple construction product components
Key Thresholds
Your product portfolio spans structural steel, insulation boards, and fire-stopping systems—each governed by different harmonised standards, different AVCP systems, and different notified body requirements. Mapping every SKU to the correct product family, identifying the applicable hEN, and determining whether System 1+, 2+, or 4 applies is a classification exercise that buries compliance teams in spreadsheets for weeks.
A specifier requests Declarations of Performance for 200 product variants across a construction project. Each DoPC requires verified test data, correct classification references, and current harmonised standard citations. Half your declarations reference withdrawn standards. Three product lines changed formulation last quarter. Your team manually rebuilds each document while the project timeline advances.
The revised CPR phases in environmental sustainability declarations—GWP data by 2026, expanded indicators by 2030, full life-cycle reporting by 2032. Your existing product data covers mechanical and fire performance but contains no environmental characteristics. Collecting LCA data from raw material suppliers across multiple tiers requires a data infrastructure that does not yet exist in most organizations.
Over 450 harmonised standards govern construction products under the CPR. Standards are periodically revised with new coexistence periods, updated test methods, and additional essential characteristics. Each revision triggers documentation updates across affected products. Market surveillance authorities can request technical files at any time. Manual tracking of standard revisions across a product portfolio with hundreds of SKUs is operationally unsustainable.

From Manual DoPC Assembly to Automated Generation
CORA extracts performance data from supplier test certificates automatically. Your team focuses on exceptions that need engineering judgment—not rebuilding declarations from scratch.
DoPC and CE Documentation Acceleration
Generate complete, audit-ready Declarations of Performance and Conformity in hours—not the 4–6 weeks of manual compilation across test reports and classification certificates.
Proactive CPR Compliance Monitoring
When CEN/CENELEC revises standards or coexistence periods change, Certivo reassesses your portfolio instantly. Know which products need updated declarations before market surveillance authorities request them.
Frequently Asked Questions
What products and companies are subject to CPR obligations?
Any company placing construction products on the EU/EEA market that are covered by a harmonised standard or European Technical Assessment must comply. This includes EU manufacturers, importers, distributors, and non-EU companies selling through authorized representatives. The revised Regulation 2024/3110 extends obligations to online marketplace operators and fulfilment service providers. CORA helps compliance teams map every product to its applicable harmonised standard and AVCP system automatically.
What are the penalties for CPR non-compliance?
CPR enforcement is handled by national market surveillance authorities in each EU member state. Article 92 penalty provisions under Regulation 2024/3110 become enforceable from January 8, 2027. Authorities can withdraw non-compliant products from the market, restrict sales, and impose fines determined by national legislation. Products without valid DoPC documentation or CE marking cannot legally be placed on the EU market.
How does Certivo track revisions to CPR harmonised standards?
Certivo maintains continuous sync with harmonised standard publications and coexistence period updates from CEN/CENELEC and the European Commission. When standards are revised or new product-family specifications are issued under the 2026–2029 Working Plan, CORA reassesses your entire portfolio and alerts you to affected products, triggering documentation update workflows automatically.
What evidence formats does Certivo accept from suppliers and testing laboratories?
Certivo accepts any format: test report PDFs, classification certificates, factory production control records, EPD documents, Excel data sheets, and proprietary laboratory formats. CORA extracts performance data regardless of format or language, eliminating the need to standardize supplier inputs across your construction product supply chain.
Does Certivo support both CPR performance and environmental sustainability declarations?
Yes. Certivo validates product performance data against applicable harmonised standards while simultaneously collecting and structuring environmental sustainability data required under Annex II. The same supplier submission feeds both traditional DoPC generation and phased environmental reporting—GWP for 2026, expanded indicators for 2030, and full LCA data for 2032—eliminating duplicate evidence campaigns across compliance workstreams.
