CPReadiness Check

The new EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR) is a central component of the European Green Deal and focuses on sustainable construction products. The performance characteristics of environmental sustainability must be implemented in the product manufacturers' declaration of performance and conformity. This new regulation also brings with it complex requirements. Our CPR Readiness Check helps you to prepare yourself optimally.

 

As your expert partner, we combine technical and environmental requirements and support you in efficiently preparing for the new CPR requirements.

 

Complex rules, clear solutions: perfectly prepared with the CPReadiness Check

The implementation of the new CPR requires close cooperation between manufacturers and notified bodies. Kiwa-Ecobility Experts is not only an internationally recognized EPD program operator but is also a notified body for the technical assessment of construction products through the Kiwa Group. Here, we draw on various notified bodies/competencies depending on the product.

 

With our CPReadinessCheck, you will receive:

  • An understanding of the new CPR regulations: Our experts will explain the key changes and what they mean for your construction products.
  • Insight into the AVCP 3+ and AVS 3+ systems: The new validation processes for the performance characteristics of environmental performance with the individual environmental indicators bring far-reaching changes. We show you how you can adapt to this.
  • Integration of the new requirements into existing processes: We analyze how the new validation and verification systems for environmental performance can be combined with your current assessments. We take a brief, concrete look at your system in terms of environmental sustainability on site (based on an initial inspection) and provide guidance on any outstanding issues.
  • Customized analysis of your EPD system: Our experts evaluate your existing EPD system, if available, and show solutions for transferring the information to the new requirements under the CPR.
  • Navigation aid for harmonized technical specifications: We explain which specifications apply to your products and what alternatives exist if your product does not fall under the harmonized CPR zone.
  • Relevance of sustainability data: We show you why environmental performance data is becoming increasingly important and how it relates to other regulations.
