What recent developments should you be paying attention to?
Here are the five key developments you should know about.
Precast concrete and steel are the first product groups to be affected.
The phasing has been adjusted: the new CPR is expected to come into force shortly for precast concrete and steel products. It is essential to act quickly to avoid falling behind.
The exact date and order may still change.
It is still a good idea to keep an eye on the updates, as the exact date of entry into force for both steel and precast concrete may still change. But actually, the order does not matter that much: it is clear that these two product groups will be next in line in the short term.
Digital product passports will soon be mandatory.
All performance and environmental data must be made available digitally for better traceability and reuse. This requires good data management, reliable systems, and the right processes
Recording environmental performance in DOPC.
The declaration of performance (DOP) will become a DOPC – where the C stands for conformity. Soon, you will have to include a validated LCA (life cycle assessment) in this document. This forms the basis for both your CE marking and the digital product passport.
Start thinking now about software such as R>THINK and support from our experts for drawing up the LCA for your products.
Pressure on the capacity of notified bodies
Validation and certification will soon only be possible through recognized bodies, such as Kiwa. But there are not many of them – and soon everyone will want to get started at the same time. Those who start early will avoid waiting times and receive better guidance. So contact us now so that we can map out the necessary steps together and draw up a realistic plan.
