EU Construction Products Regulation · Reg (EU) 2024/3110

Does your product need CE marking under the CPR?

The new EU Construction Products Regulation decides whether a construction product needs a Declaration of Performance and CE marking. Answer three questions and find out your route — mandatory CE, the voluntary ETA path, or out of scope.

The rule, in one line

The new CPR (Regulation (EU) 2024/3110, which repeals Reg (EU) 305/2011) applies from 8 January 2026. Where a construction product is covered by a harmonised technical specification, the manufacturer must run the assessment and verification of constancy of performance, draw up a Declaration of Performance and Conformity, and affix the CE marking before placing it on the market. Products not covered by a harmonised spec can use the voluntary European Technical Assessment route.

How the determination works

1. Is it a construction product?

The CPR covers products intended to be incorporated permanently in construction works — buildings and civil-engineering works. If yours is not, the CPR does not apply.

2. Is it covered by a harmonised technical specification?

If a harmonised standard or European Assessment Document covers your product, a Declaration of Performance and CE marking are mandatory: you run the assessment and verification of constancy of performance, draw up the declaration, and affix CE. If not, CE is voluntary via a European Technical Assessment.

3. Which CPR applies?

The new CPR (Regulation (EU) 2024/3110) applies from 8 January 2026, with some provisions from 7 January 2025 and 8 January 2027, and the first working plan for harmonised technical specifications by 8 January 2026. Before that, Regulation (EU) 305/2011 applies.

Frequently asked questions

What is the new CPR?
Regulation (EU) 2024/3110, the new Construction Products Regulation, which repeals Regulation (EU) 305/2011. It applies from 8 January 2026 with phased provisions.
When do I need CE marking and a Declaration of Performance?
When your construction product is covered by a harmonised technical specification (a harmonised standard or European Assessment Document). Then CE + a Declaration of Performance are mandatory before placing it on the market.
My product isn't covered by a harmonised spec — what then?
CE marking is not mandatory under the CPR. You may request a European Technical Assessment (ETA) to draw up a Declaration of Performance and CE-mark voluntarily. National rules of the Member States where you sell may still apply.
What is AVCP?
The assessment and verification of constancy of performance — the system (depending on your product) that determines how the performance is assessed and verified, sometimes involving a notified body, before you draw up the Declaration of Performance.
When does the new CPR apply?
From 8 January 2026, with some provisions from 7 January 2025 and 8 January 2027. The first working plan for harmonised technical specifications is due by 8 January 2026.
