EU CPR 2024/3110 enters into force with delayed implementation
Euralarm has reported that the revised EU Construction Products Regulation (EU CPR 2024/3110) officially came into effect on 7 January 2025.
Despite its adoption, the changes do not yet affect CE marking or EU declarations of conformity for manufacturers, including those in the fire safety sector.
Until new harmonised technical specifications are developed and adopted, manufacturers will continue to comply with the existing harmonised standards.
This status quo is expected to continue for several years.
According to Euralarm, its members will play an active role in shaping the forthcoming standardisation request that will inform future updates.
Changes to product compliance and environmental reporting requirements
The updated EU CPR introduces future obligations aimed at aligning construction product regulations with broader environmental and digital goals.
These include the introduction of a Digital Product Passport and mandatory Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).
EPDs will measure the environmental impact of products throughout their lifecycle, from production to raw material recovery.
A combined Declaration of Performance and Conformity will also be introduced, integrating compliance, safety and environmental criteria into a single document.
Euralarm stated that these changes aim to improve transparency and traceability in the construction product supply chain.
Euralarm involvement in the transition period
Euralarm confirmed that it remains committed to supporting its members throughout the transition.
The organisation said its members will contribute to the development of new harmonised standards and the implementation of the revised regulation.
Euralarm stated: “Until the new harmonized technical specifications based on the new standardization request are developed and adopted, the current harmonized standards continue to apply.”
The organisation also noted that while the regulation is now in force, no immediate compliance changes are required by manufacturers.
