Summary

TAV. 00

Directive 89/106/EEC (the Construction Products Directive) opened the European era of construction products: essential requirements for works, harmonized technical specifications and the first CE marking of products. Effective upon notification to Member States (27 December 1988; OJ L 40 of 11 February 1989), it was implemented in Italy by Presidential Decree 246/1993. It was repealed by Regulation (EU) 305/2011 (CPR), fully applicable from 1 July 2013, which replaced the attestation of conformity with the Declaration of Performance (DoP). For products placed on the market before 2013 it remains the period framework.
