The legislation lays down the conditions for placing construction products on the market or making construction products available on the market by laying down harmonized rules on how to express the parameters of the essential characteristics of construction products and the use of the CE marking on these products.

It is necessary to implement and certify:

  • a production control system that meets the requirements of the product standard,
  • rules on declaration of parameters,
  • rules for marking products with the CE mark.
