The new DoP Declaration of Performance Construction Product Regulation and latest information on standardization Ralf Podleschny
New: Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) (old: Attestation of Performance, AoC) Clear separation between the: Certification of the product Certification of the Factory Production Control Slide 2
Systems of Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance Manufacturer Tasks Initial Type Testing of the product Determination of the product-type on the basis of type testing (including sampling), type calculation, tabulated values or descriptive documentation of the product Further testing of samples taken at the factory in accordance with the prescribed test plan Factory Production Control Systems 1+ 1 2+ 2 3 4 Notified Body Initial Type Testing of the product Determination of the product-type on the basis of type testing (including sampling), type calculation, tabulated values or descriptive documentation of the product Audit-testing of samples taken before placing the product on the market Initial inspection of the manufacturing plant and of factory production control Continuous surveillance, assessment and evaluation of factory production control Slide 3
General Information: Mandatory since: 01.07.2013. Immediately legally binding. Construction products placing on the European market after 01.07.2013 have to comply with the CPR 1 Superior goals: 2 3 4 5 6 Reduction of trade barriers Free market Placing construction products on the market Slide 4
General Information: Content of CPR: EU-wide harmonized product and testing standards CE-marking and Declaration of Performance (DoP) Member states have to accept CE-marked products without any hindrance, but member states are allowed to regulate the application The declaration of performance shall be supplied in the language or the languages required by the Member State where the product is made available (Art. 7,4) Slide 5
Changes: CPD CPR OLD Construction Product Directive (CPD) NEW Construction Product Regulation (CPR) 6 essential requirements 7 basic requirements Declaration Mechanical of Conformity resistance and Declaration stability of Performance (DoP) National Safety Approval in Bodies case of fire Technical Assessment Bodies (TAB) Hygiene, EOTA health and the environment Organization of TABs Safety and accessibility in use ETAG and CUAP European Assessment Documents (EAD) European Protection Technical Approval against noise European Technical Assessment (ETA) (ETA) Implementation Energy individually economy in and heat retention Immediately mandatory in member states member states Sustainable use of natural resources Slide 6
Changes because of CPR: Significance of CE-marking As of today the manufacturer has to document by the CE-Mark Manufacturer that he takes the responsibility for the conformity of the product with the declared performance (DoP) as well as the compliance with all applicable requirements laid down in the CPR and in other relevant Union harmonization legislation providing for its affixing. CE-marking has to be based on the DoP Content of DoP results from the harmonized technical specifications (hens, e. g. EN 14509, EN 14782, EN 1090-1; or ETAs) Slide 7
Changes because of CPR: Definition of economic operators Manufacturer Authorised representative Importer Distributor Slide 8
Changes because of CPR: Definition of economic operators Manufacturer: Fabricates the product, distributes it under his own brand, is reponsible for DoP and CE Manufacturer: Appoints an authorised representative and transfers some of his obligations to him Importer: places a product, manufactured outside of the European Economic Area, onto the European market (e. g. as an own trademark) Distributor: Makes a product available on the market (e. g. as an own trademark or with the manufacturers trademark) Slide 9
Changes because of CPR: An importer or distributor shall be considered a manufacturer for the purposes of the CPR and shall be subject to the obligations of a manufacturer pursuant to Article 11, where he places a product on the market under his name or trademark or modifies a construction product already placed on the market in such a way that conformity with the declaration of performance may be affected. Slide 10
Tasks for those responsible for placing the product on the market: Determination of application Determination of performance Declaration of performance e. g.: Structural application acc. to EN 1090-1 Self-supporting application acc. to EN 14782 Based on: Test reports, Test certificates or Calculation Product specific Declaration of Performance and Product labelling with the CE mark Slide 11
Tasks for those responsible for placing the product on the market: Commissioning of a notified body based on the system of Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) valid for the product If mandatory: Execution of external inspection and surveillance in each plant based on the requirements of the harmonized specification (EN or ETA) System Type of notified body Type of certificate 1+ 1 Certification body Certificate of constancy of performance 2+ Certification body for the Factory Production Control 3 Testing Laboratory --- 4 --- --- Certificate of conformity of the factory production control acc. to Annex V Slide 12
Obligations of the notified body: Notified bodies shall provide the other notified bodies with relevant information on issues relating to negative and, on request, positive results from these assessments and/or verifications (Art. 53.2) Notified bodies shall inform the notifying authority of the following (Art. 53.1) e.g.: any refusal, restriction, suspension or withdrawal of certificates any request for information on assessment and/or verification of constancy of performance activities carried out which they have received from market surveillance authorities Slide 13
Assessment and verification of constancy of performance (Art. 6): The declaration of performance shall express the performance of construction products in relation to the essential characteristics of those products Standards (e.g. EN 14782, EN 1090-1 or EN 14509) or ETAs define essential characteristics Such performances have to be declared which are mandatory in the state where the product is placed on the market national specialties The responsible for placing the product on the market has to declare the performance of at least 1 essential characteristic.
