There is a wide range of building materials products, and every year China has a large number of building materials products exported to foreign countries, or shipped abroad with projects such as factory construction. Compared with general products, the EU has strict control over building materials products, and building materials products exported to the EU need to pass the CPR directive in the EU CE certification, which is also known as CPR certification by Xi inertia.
The directive number of CPR certification for building materials is 305 2011 EU, and all EU member states must comply with the regulation, and all building materials products entering the EU market, whether they are sanitary products, building panels, etc., must pass CPR certification. On March 9, 2011, the European Union issued a new CPR regulation that replaced the old CPD Directive on construction products, retaining the core elements of the CPD and avoiding differences in local regulations. Sometimes export companies will see CPD certification or CPD directive, in fact, this is CPR certification or CPR directive.
Scope of the CPR Regulation.
From July 1, 2013, the construction products regulation (CPR) 305 2011 EU issued by the European Union fully replaced the original construction products directive 89 106 EEC (CPD) and entered the mandatory phase. The EU Building Materials Regulation (CPR) applies to all building products, including building and sanitary ceramics, that is, any product that constitutes a construction project (including buildings and civil works) in a permanent way, such as: glass, concrete, cement, pipes, roofing materials, wood products (plywood, fiberboard, wood flooring, etc.), ceilings, asphalt mixtures, flooring, wallpaper wallpaper, building pigments, sewer equipment, bricks, doors and windows, structural metal products, insulation materials, waterproofing materials, Structural timber, traffic signal indication, building hardware (steel supports, manhole covers, ladders, I-beams, bolts, channel steel, guardrails, cable trays, etc.), fire protection equipment and heating equipment, etc.
Basic requirements for CE certification of building materials.
First and foremost, the product must be suitable for construction work that is fit for its intended use, while taking into account its economy. As such, the project must meet these requirements in compliance with regulations that contain the following essential requirements. In the case of normal maintenance, these requirements must be met within an economically reasonable service life.
1.Mechanical resistance and stability.
The design and construction of the building project must be carried out in such a way that the loads that may be subjected during construction and use will not lead to the occurrence of the following accidents: the collapse of the project in whole or in part;The deformation is severe enough to not be allowed;Serious deformation of the load-bearing structure, causing damage to other parts of the project or the installation or equipment;The damage caused by the accident was not commensurate with the original intention.
2.Fire safety.
The design and construction of building works must be carried out in the event of a sudden fire: to maintain the bearing capacity of the structure for a specific period of time;The generation and spread of fire and smoke within the scope of the project are restrictedLimit the spread of fire to adjacent construction works;to enable personnel to escape from the project or otherwise be rescued;Make the safety of rescuers considered.
3.Hygiene, health and the environment.
Construction works must be designed and constructed in such a way that they do not pose a threat to the health and health of persons or neighbours within the scope of the works, in particular in the following situations: the release of toxic gases;Air** Harmful particles or gases;Release of harmful radiation;Pollution and poisoning of soil or water;Improper removal of wastewater, fumes, waste, or waste liquids;Dampness occurs in all parts of the project or its internal surface.
4.Safe to use.
The design and construction of construction projects shall not cause unacceptable accident hazards such as slippage, fall, collision, burn, electric shock, and injury during operation or use.
5.Noise protection.
The design and construction of the building works must keep the noise level low and perceptible to the people in the project area and the nearby residents, so that their health is not threatened and they can sleep, rest and work in a satisfactory environment.
6.Energy saving and insulation.
Depending on the local climate and the availability of personnel, the construction project and its heating, cooling and ventilation installations must be designed and constructed in such a way as to ensure that the minimum amount of energy required is used.
7.Sustainable use of natural resources.
Buildings should be designed, constructed and dismantled in a way that guarantees the sustainability of natural resources and, in particular, the reuse or recycling capacity of the building and its materials and components after demolitionBuilding Durability;We use environmentally friendly raw and secondary materials in our buildings.
The process of CE certification of building materials.
1.The applicant fills in the application form and provides product information;
2.Engineers according to the product information parameters and the directive standards to which they belong
3.The applicant confirms the fee and signs the contract;
4.Mail samples, provide product details manuals, English instructions, etc.;
5.After the test is completed, the test report is issued, and the test report is submitted to the issuing authority to apply for the issuance of the CE certificate.
The model of CE certification for building materials.
According to the end use of the product and the degree of risk, the EU is divided into 6 systems for CE certification of building materials, namely system 1, system 1+, system 2, system 2+, system 3, and system 4.
1.System 1: The certification body conducts preliminary type testing of the product, inspects and supervises the factory production control.
2.System 1+: The certification body conducts preliminary type testing of products, inspects and supervises factory production control, and regularly samples and tests products.
3.System 2: The certification body inspects the factory and the factory's production control.
4.System 2+: The certification body inspects the factory and the factory's production control, and continuously supervises and evaluates.
5.System 3: The certification body conducts a preliminary type test on the product and issues a certificate of conformity.
6.System 4: type testing and technical document collation.
Building materials CE certification week.
The certification cycle varies for different product categories and certification methods. If the materials are ready, the product test will pass at one time, and the cycle will be about 2-3 weeks.
The validity period of CE certification for building materials.
CE certification itself has no expiration date, as long as CE does not introduce new standards, the manufacturer, business, manufacturing process of the product has not changed, then the CE certification has been valid. However, if the standards or instructions implemented are revised, upgraded, updated, etc., the product may be re-evaluated, added to the difference test, or even re-applied according to the situation. Therefore, the validity period of CE certification is based on the above situation, and there is basically no fixed validity period.
Benefits of CE certification for building materials.
In addition to being a passport for products to enter the EU and European markets, CE certification is also a commitment from enterprises to consumers, which can increase consumers' trust in products. In addition, products bearing the CE mark also reduce the risk of being sold on the European market. Such as: the risk of being detained and investigated by the customs, and the risk of being investigated and dealt with by the market supervision agency;the risk of being accused by peers for competitive purposes, etc.
