Safe Construction Products for Health and the Environment:

How much testing is necessary to implement the EC Construction Products Directive?


In the first generation of harmonised standards and approval guidelines in accordance with the framework of the construction products directive, no requirements were included for the fulfilment of Essential requirement no. 3 Hygiene, Health and Environment. These requirements shall be included in the revision of the standards, i.e., in the second generation. For this purpose, the European Commission has provided Mandate M/366 Horizontal Complement to Mandates CEN/CENELEC, Concerning the Execution of Standardisation Work for the Development of Horizontal Standardised Assessment Methods for Harmonised Approaches Relating to Dangerous Substances Under the Construction Products Directive (CPD).
