Danem Test & Certificate supports manufacturers with conformity assessment preparation for construction products placed on regulated markets. CPR projects typically require clear definition of the product’s intended use, applicable performance characteristics, and the correct route for assessment and documentation.
We support clients from early scope definition through documentation review, coordination of required testing, and guidance through the applicable assessment steps. Our approach is tailored to the product family, declared performance, and target market needs, helping manufacturers avoid delays caused by unclear scope or incomplete evidence.
From the outset, we define a clear assessment scope, required test evidence, and expected timelines to ensure a structured and transparent path from evaluation to market readiness.
What Is CPR Certification?
CPR certification supports placing construction products on the EU market under the Construction Products Regulation (EU) No 305/2011. CPR establishes rules for declaring the performance of construction products in relation to their essential characteristics, typically through harmonized standards or applicable technical specifications.
Depending on the product and standard, the process may include product testing, factory production control (FPC) requirements, and preparation of the Declaration of Performance (DoP) and CE marking information. The exact obligations depend on the relevant harmonized standard and the applicable assessment and verification route.
Typical construction products include doors and fire doorsets, building materials and components, structural products, insulation, cables and systems used in buildings, and other products covered by harmonized standards for EU market placement.
CPR Assessment Process
Our CPR process is structured to keep requirements clear and reduce costly iterations.
Applicability and scope definition
We confirm whether CPR applies under (EU) No 305/2011, identify the relevant standard/specification, and define the required performance characteristics and evidence.
Testing and production control support (as applicable)
Where required, we coordinate testing and support implementation or alignment of factory production control requirements to match the applicable route.
Documentation and technical review
We review product documentation, intended use, and declared performance approach to confirm what testing and controls are required.
DoP and market readiness
We support preparation of documentation outputs suitable for the Declaration of Performance and CE marking readiness under CPR.
Ensure your declared performance is technically supported
Structured review of intended use, essential characteristics, test evidence, and production control requirements for EU market placement.
Does CPR apply to my product, and what triggers CE marking under CPR?
CPR applicability depends on whether the product is covered by a harmonized standard or applicable technical specification and is placed on the EU market for a defined intended use. We confirm applicability and scope during the initial review.
What is a Declaration of Performance (DoP), and what information is needed?
A DoP is the document where the manufacturer declares product performance for relevant essential characteristics. It is prepared based on the applicable standard/specification and supported by test evidence and production control information.
Do all construction products require factory production control (FPC)?
Not always. FPC expectations depend on the harmonized standard and the applicable assessment route. We help define what level of production control and documentation is required for your product.
What causes CPR projects to be delayed most often?
Typical delays come from unclear intended use, incorrect product classification under the standard, incomplete test evidence, and missing or inconsistent documentation supporting declared performance. Early scope definition reduces rework.
Can one CPR assessment cover multiple variants of a product?
Often yes, if variants are controlled and technical differences are justified within the assessment scope. The final approach depends on whether changes affect declared performance characteristics.
