CE marking of construction products (CPR)

CE marking of construction products – mandatory and voluntary

Do you want to sell a construction product within the EU/EEA? Then you need to know which route to CE marking applies to your product.

There are two ways to CE mark a construction product:

1. Mandatory CE marking

   Applies when the product or construction system is covered by a harmonized standard (hEN) or a European Technical Assessment (ETA). In this case, CE marking is a legal requirement for sale in Sweden, the EU/EEA, Switzerland, and Turkey.

2. Voluntary CE marking via ETA

   ETA is a voluntary system used when there is no harmonized standard but the manufacturer still wants to CE mark the product. This is done through an ETA – European Technical Assessment. With an ETA, you get a clear technical specification and can CE mark and declare the performance of the product for sale in the EU/EEA, Switzerland, and Turkey.

RISE is a Notified Body and Technical Assessment Body (TAB) and works with CE marking and performance declaration, the Construction Products Regulation (CPR).

With RISE, you get a safe and efficient route to CE marking – so you can launch your products on the market without hindrance.

New Construction Products Regulation (EU) 2024/3110

The new Construction Products Regulation, which came into force on January 8, 2026, will be applicable when new and revised harmonized product standards are in place. For more information and a priority list for product areas, please refer to Boverket.se. The new Construction Products Regulation is monitored by RISE.

The transition to the new Construction Products Regulation entails important changes for you as a manufacturer. Among other things, a new assessment and verification system, AVS 3+, is being introduced, which requires third-party validation of the environmental performance of construction products.

This means that your environmental assessments—such as life cycle assessments (LCA), environmental product declarations (EPD), and climate data—must be reviewed and verified by a notified body. RISE will offer this verification service.

For more information on other changes in the new Construction Products Regulation, please refer to “A GUIDE FOR MANUFACTURERS,” which can be ordered here.

The introduction of the new Construction Products Regulation will take place in stages and will take many years. During a long transition period, most construction products will therefore still be covered by the current Regulation (EU) 305/2011.

As a Notified Body, RISE provides:

• Certificates designated “Certificate of Continuity of Performance of Construction Products” or “Certificate of Conformity for Factory Production Control”
• AVCP 3 report (summary report) for performance assessment

As a Technical Assessment Body (TAB), RISE provides:

• Certificates/technical specifications designated ETA (European Technical Assessments)
• Preparation of European Assessment Documents (EAD)
