On 30th March 2022 the European Commission (EC) published the draft of a new Construction Product Regulation (CPR). The draft document covers all construction products technically specified via harmonised European Standards (hEN) and European Assessment Documents (EAD).

The intention of the EC is to further develop the construction market in Europe towards more digital and environmentally friendly concepts – while maintaining a level playing field, e.g ensure a high level of harmonisation across member states.
