CPD 89/106/EEC - Construction Products Directive

CPD 89/106/EEC (Construction Products Directive) was published on December 21, 1988 by the European Council on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States. It was then amended by the Council Directive 93/68/EEC on July 22, 1993 and Regulation (EC) No 1882/2003 on September 29, 2003. The directive harmonizes all construction products subject to regulatory controls for CE marking purposes.

The main goal of the Construction Products Directive is to improve the framework conditions for the competitiveness of the construction and construction products industries. The directive requires that construction products are suitable for use in construction works. Therefore, the essential requirements regarding safety, public health, protection of citizens, and the environment must be fulfilled.
