The Construction Products Regulation (CPR) replaced the former Construction Products Directive (CPD) setting up harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products in the EU. The CPR has been applied fully since July 2013. This report presents the state of implementation of the CPR, including the experience gained, the extent of achievements of the CPR objectives and issues that require improvement. The factual evidence behind this report comes from Member State and stakeholder reports to the Commission, regular feedback received from Member States and the main stakeholders mainly through the Advisory Group, the Standing Committee on Construction and the market surveillance administrative cooperation group (AdCo-CPR) and an external study entitled "Analysis of the implementation of the Construction Products Regulation", completed in July 2015 [see Related URL]. This report does not address issues already included in specific studies, reports produced by the Commission and reports to be produced later in the year. This includes the 2014 report on hazardous substances, the report on delegated powers adopted in 2015 and the upcoming report on financing of the European Organisation for Technical Assessment (EOTA) due 1 January 2017. Similarly, the coherence of the EU legislation applicable to the construction sector, including the CPR, as well as its costs and benefits for the sector are subject to a sectoral fitness check planned for 2017. Regarding the economic impact of the CPR, a study has been launched whose results are expected by summer 2016. |
