New Construction Products Regulation 2024

After a few years of intensive discussion, the new Construction Products Regulation (CPR) was adopted by the European Parliament and the EU Council in April 2024.

The new CPR is expected to come into force in late autumn 2024 and will be fully applicable ca. one year later. What changes will apply to construction fixings with ETA?

EADs will no be part of the "harmonised zone". This will not affect the CE marking of products covered by an ETA based on such an EAD. Therefore, products with a CE mark based on an ETA can be distributed all over Europe also under the new CPR.
ETAs can only be issued based on EADs cited in the OJEU. Under the current CPR ETAs can be issued based on EADs adopted by EOTA, but not yet cited in the OJEU.
