Introduction to CPR certification for building materials:

In March 2011, the European Union issued the new building product regulation RETULATION (EU) NO305/2011-CPR and announced that the new regulation would enter into mandatory implementation in July 2013, replacing the old directive CPD 89/106/EEC

The new CPR certification for building materials is also a unified performance evaluation method in the European Union, aimed at ensuring the safety and reliability of building material performance, ensuring that buildings and civil engineering within its territory do not pose a threat to human, livestock (poultry), or property safety in design and construction, and other basic requirements followed to maintain general welfare. The new regulations retain the core elements of CPD and avoid differences in regulations across different regions.

Scope of CPR regulations:

Construction products "refer to any products permanently included in construction projects, including buildings and civil engineering.

Examples of building products: steel structures, cement, wires and cables, doors and windows, building hardware, flooring, glass, fireplaces, wallpaper, tiles, sanitary ware ..

Basic requirements for CE certification of building materials:

The product must be suitable for a construction project that meets its intended use, and the construction project (as a whole and its individual components) should be economical and practical. Therefore, projects subject to regulations containing the following basic requirements should meet these requirements. Under normal maintenance, the basic requirement must be met within an economically reasonable service life, and this requirement usually only involves foreseeable behavior.

Mechanical stress and stability:

Construction projects must be designed and constructed in such a way that the loads to be applied during construction and use will not cause the following accidents:

The overall or partial collapse of the project;

Severe deformation to an unacceptable degree;

Damage to other engineering components and equipment installed on them caused by severe deformation of the load structure;

Damage caused by accidents that are far from the original target.

Safety requirements during a fire:

Construction projects must be designed and constructed to prevent sudden fires;

——The structural load capacity should be able to maintain for a specific period of time;

——The generation and spread of fire and smoke within the project should be restricted;

——The spread of fire to nearby construction projects should be restricted;

——Residents should be able to escape the project or be rescued in other ways.

——The safety of those seeking assistance should also be taken into consideration.

Hygiene, Health and Environment:

Construction projects should be designed and constructed in such a way that they do not pose a threat to the hygiene and health of residents and neighbors, especially in the following situations:

——Release toxic gas;

——Harmful particles or gases appear in the air;

——Release harmful radiation;

——Pollution and poisoning of soil or water;

——Improper removal of wastewater, smoke, waste or liquid waste;

——Moisture appears on engineering components or inner surfaces.

Safe use:

Construction projects must be designed and constructed so that there are no unacceptable risks of accidents such as sliding, falling, collision, burning, electric shock, explosion injury, etc. during their use.

Noise protection:

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

Energy Economy and Thermal Insulation:

According to the local climate conditions and the requirements of residents, the construction project and its heating, cooling, and ventilation devices must be designed and constructed to use as little energy as possible.
