CPR-2024: more than a new CE requirement
CPR-2024 not only changes what you have to provide, but above all why. The revised European regulation is about much more than just compliance: it marks a systemic change towards sustainable, circular and transparent chains in the construction industry.
Digital product passports are coming
For construction products covered by CPR-2024, you will soon be required to provide a digital passport. This will contain performance, environmental data and origin information. This document is mandatory, transparent and standardized.
Environmental information mandatory in the DOPC
The new Declaration of Performance and Conformity (DOPC) contains more than just technical product performance. The environmental impact, calculated using an Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in accordance with EN 15804, will become an integral part of the DOPC.
Stricter supervision and enforcement
The role of the notified bodies is changing. They will gain broader authority and you will have more control obligations. Good data management and documentation are essential.
Long-term planning until 2038
The introduction of CPR-2024 will take place in phases. Some obligations will apply soon, others only in 2038. By planning strategically now, you can stay on top of the deadlines and avoid surprises in the future.
Opportunities for circular products
The new CPR encourages reuse, recycling and low-impact materials. For frontrunners, this presents commercial opportunities, such as tenders, sustainability labels and commercial positioning.
