​Construction Products Regulation (CPR)

​CPR introduces new fire safety classifications and requires that all cables marketed in European Economic Area (EEA) to carry a CE mark and have a declaration of performance (DOP). The CE mark indicates the specific fire performance level that the cable has been verified to provide. Starting 1 July 2017, manufacturers cannot supply cables unless they have been tested, certified, and marked in accordance with the CPR standards.

CE MARK

The CE mark shows that a construction product is fit for purpose. It’s recognised throughout the EEA and represents a harmonised approach to setting and enforcing standards. CE-marked construction products meet seven basic requirements.
  1. Mechanical resistance and stability
  2. Safety in case of fire
  3. Hygiene, health, and environment
  4. Safety and accessibility in use
  5. Protection against noise
  6. Energy economy and heat retention
  7. Sustainable use of natural resources
