The new Construction Products Regulation modernises the 2011 rules, streamlining the sale of construction products across the EU Single Market while boosting innovation, competitiveness, and sustainability

A key feature is Digital Product Passports, which store essential product data, enabling accurate carbon footprint calculations for buildings

The regulation supports offsite construction methods like modular and prefabricated elements, decreasing costs and reducing waste by 10-15%. Such methods enhances productivity and sustainability by allowing the reconfiguration of prefabricated units

This transformative regulation benefits builders, architects, engineers, consumers, and public authorities, ensuring better decision-making based on product performance and environmental impact.
