About Glass for Europe

Glass for Europe is the trade association for Europe’s flat glass sector. Flat glass is the material that
goes into a variety of end products, primarily in windows and facades for buildings, windscreens and
windows for automotive and transport as well as solar energy equipment, furniture and appliances.
Glass for Europe brings together multinational firms and thousands of SMEs across Europe, to
represent the entire building glass value-chain. It is composed of flat glass manufacturers, AGC
Glass Europe, Guardian, NSG-Group and Saint-Gobain Glass Industry, and works in association with
Carlex and national partners gathering building glass processors all over Europe
Construction Products Regulation

Introduction
Regulation (EU) 305/2011, more commonly referred to as the Construction Products Regulation
(CPR), replaces the 1989 Construction Products Directive (CPD). This new piece of legislation sets out
the rules governing when and under which conditions, the CE marking must accompany construction
products placed on the EU market. The purpose of this guide is to explain the main changes between
the ‘old’ Construction Products Directive and the ‘new’ Construction Products Regulation.

o This new EU regulation therefore applies to most glass products for use in buildings and
their derived products.

o All glass manufacturers, processors and building glass supply chain actors need to
understand what the new legislative changes will mean for their business.

To that end, Glass for Europe has put together this practical guide to steer you through the new
terminology and concepts and highlight what the main changes will be.

For ease of use the guide is divided into two parts:

✓ Part One – General information on the CE marking for building glass / page 4

✓ Part Two – Q&A on the main regulatory changes affecting CE marking as of 1 July 2013
/ page 6

Basic principles of CE marking

By affixing the CE marking on a product, a company
conforms to the declared performance values and satisfies EU legislative
requirements.

The CE-marked product can therefore cross because they were heavy, lacked transparency

How does this affect glass products?

• Most glass products will need to bear the CE marking because:
• Most glass products are covered by a hEN
• Exemptions from the requirement to draw up a declaration of performance are extremely
limited

Since 2005, a number of building glass products implementation across the whole of Europe.

PART TWO
This Q&A from Glass for Europe is not meant to explain all the measures in relation to CE
marking since the industry should already CE mark its products and know the basic rules. Part
two of the guide simply tries to highlight the main changes due to the new European rules. Of all
changes to the rules, three items are particularly relevant to glass products: the declaration of
performance, affixing the CE marking and derogations.

What is a declaration of performance?

The Law

in relation to the essential characteristics, as
defined in the applicable harmonised technical
specification, may be provided only if included
and specified in the declaration of performance
except where, in accordance with Article 5, no

3. By drawing up the declaration of performance, • Unlike the old declaration of

durability of the product according to
the relevant hEN. Therefore, in the
standards cited in the OJEU under the
CPR durability was added in the list of
performances to be declared in the
DoP.

2. The declaration of performance shall contain,
in particular, the following information:

(a) the reference of the product-type for which the • The DoP must relate to a product type

product type must be identified in the
DoP. (See CPR Article 2, definition 9
for definition of product type).
• A product type may cover several
products with the same declared
performances.

► Example of a product type: Clear float

manufacturers,

(b) the system or systems of assessment and • List all relevant systems of

single coated glass has
characteristics which are under
AVCP system 3 and 4. Mirror without
safety film has characteristics which
are under AVCP system 4.

(c) the reference number and date of issue of the • Standard reference numbers should
harmonised standard or the European Technical not be written next to each
Assessment which has been used for the characteristic as only one hEN is
assessment of each essential characteristic; applicable (only one hEN per product).
This may be mentioned at the top of
the declaration.

Date of the standard: The date of the

standard is to be understood as the
year in which the CEN ratifies the text.
This may not be the same as the year
in which the European Standard was
published by the national
standardisation body. This date can be
found on the CEN website. The date of
the latest version of the standard is to
be included in the DoP (see Annex I).

• If a harmonised standard modification

does not affect any of the declared
values, the DoP with the date of the
latest version of the harmonised
standard can be added next to the
previous one(s). If the modification
affects at least one declared value, the
DoP referring to the old harmonised
standard should be kept in the archive
for ten years..

► Example:
EN 1279-5:2005;
EN 1279-5:2005+A1:2008;
EN 1279-5:2005+A2:2010.
A1 was only a clarification of the
classification of pendulum body
impact resistance. A2 sets down rules
for shared ITT.

In this example, as neither of these

amendments affected any declared
values, under the CPR there would be
no need for a manufacturer to make
new assessments of characteristics.
The existing DoP would still be
applicable, provided that this is made
clear in the reference to the hEN.

Note that the dates mentioned in this table are the dates from which CE marking was mandatory (date
of withdrawal of the possible national standard on the same subject). CE marking was already possible
one year before (date of coexistence of this possible national standard with the new EN standard).
Therefore, some companies may have started the CE marking of their product the year before that
