About CE Certification for Construction Products

Construction products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA) must meet the requirements of the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR) No 305/2011. CE marking under CPR ensures that construction materials meet essential performance standards for structural safety, energy efficiency, fire resistance, and environmental protection.

Whether it’s concrete, steel, insulation, roofing, or windows—CE marking ensures that construction products are suitable for their intended use and comply with European harmonized standards. This section covers the key components and significance of CE certification for the construction industry.

Key Components of CE Construction Product Certification

Harmonized Technical Specifications: Compliance with relevant EN standards that define performance characteristics and testing methods.

Declaration of Performance (DoP): A formal document by the manufacturer outlining essential product characteristics and intended use.

Factory Production Control (FPC): In-house quality control systems to ensure product consistency and compliance.

Initial Type Testing (ITT): Product testing by an accredited body to confirm declared performance values.

Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP): Ongoing evaluation by a Notified Body based on the product’s risk level.

Labeling and CE Marking: Accurate and permanent marking with CE symbol, DoP reference, system of assessment, and manufacturer details.

Technical Documentation: Compilation of test results, material specifications, quality controls, and compliance records for audits.
