CPR Building Materials Certification

CPR - Regulation (EU) No 305/2011- Building Materials CE Certification

On March 9, 2011, the European Union issued a new regulation on construction products (Regulation (EU) No 305/2011), Replaced the old Building Products CPD Directive (Directive 89/106/EEC) and announced that CPR will enter the mandatory enforcement phase in July 2013.

The CPR regulation for building materials provides a unified CE certification performance evaluation method for construction products in the 27 member states of the European Union. By using a common technical language, it ensures the reliability of performance information for construction products, making the procedural requirements and technical language for entering the EU market more transparent, rigorous, and accurate. While retaining the core content of the CPD directive, it avoids differences in local regulations and to some extent simplifies the testing and certification procedures and cycles.

CPR regulations involve operators:

1. Manufacturer

2. Distributors

3. Importer

The new CPR regulations point out that market supervision and protective measures procedures, as well as authorization procedures for notified bodies, will be stricter. Importers and distributors will need to bear the same responsibility, while notified bodies will need to bear additional responsibilities.

CPR Scope of Application

The CPR regulations will apply to all building products sold and circulated in the European market, such as doors and windows, wallpaper, wall panels, building pigments, steel structures, aluminum structures, geotechnical products, insulation materials such as glass wool, flooring, wood plastic panels, roofing materials, asphalt mixtures, gypsum materials, concrete, cement, pipelines, flooring materials, sewer equipment, glass, structural metal products, fasteners, waterproof materials, structural timber, traffic signal signs, fire protection equipment, and fire cables.

CPR regulations have 7 basic performance requirements for building materials products:

1. Mechanical resistance and stability

The design and construction of building projects must ensure that the loads they may bear during construction and use do not lead to the occurrence of the following accidents:

a. The overall or partial collapse of the project;

b. Severe deformation to an unacceptable degree;

c. Serious deformation of the load-bearing structure, causing damage to other parts or devices of the project or installed equipment;

d. The damage caused by the accident is not commensurate with the original intention.

2. Safety in case of fire

The design and construction of building projects must:

a. Maintain the structural load-bearing capacity for a specific period of time;

b. Restrict the generation and spread of fire and smoke within the scope of the project;

c. Restricting the spread of fire to nearby construction projects;

d. Enable personnel to escape the project or obtain rescue in other ways;

e. Consider the safety of rescue personnel.

3. Hygiene, health and the environment

The design and construction of building projects must ensure that they do not pose a threat to the hygiene and health of personnel or neighbors within the scope of the project, especially the following situations must not occur:

a. Release toxic gases;

b. Harmful particles or gases appear in the air;

c. Release harmful radiation;

d. Causing pollution and poisoning to soil or water;

e. Improper removal of wastewater, smoke, waste or liquid waste;

f. Moisture appears on various parts or inner surfaces of the project

4. Safety and accessibility in use

The design and construction of construction projects shall not cause unacceptable accident hazards such as slipping, falling, collision, burns, electric shock, explosion injuries, etc. during operation or use.

5. Protection against noise

The design and construction of construction projects must ensure that the noise perceived by personnel and nearby residents within the project scope is controlled at a low level, so that their health is not threatened and they can sleep, rest, and work in a satisfactory environment.

6. Energy economy and heat retention

According to the local climate conditions and personnel situation, the design and construction of building projects and their heating, cooling, and ventilation systems must ensure the use of as little energy as possible.

7. Sustainable use of natural resources (CPR regulation added)

The utilization of natural resources is more rational and in line with the requirements of sustainable development.
