‹ Terug naar overzicht- What is the CPR?
Answer: CPR is the European Regulation 305/2011 of 9 March 2011. CPR stands for Construction Products Regulation and is a European law, not a standard. The aim of the CPR is to make buildings more fire safe and to reduce the number of casualties and injuries, damage and losses caused by building fires. CPR applies to products covered by a standard harmonised (linked) to the CPR. These harmonised standards are published on the EU website: https://ec.europa.eu/growth/single-market/european-standards/harmonised-standards/construction-products_en
This includes all kinds of standards for construction products. And on 10 June 2016, cables in compliance with standard EN50575 were added and became mandatory on 1 July 2017. From 1 July 2017, cables in compliance with EN50575 that are produced by manufacturers in Europe or placed on the European market by importers and used in fixed electrical installations of construction works must comply with the CPR fire classification and be supplied with a DoP (Declaration of Performance) stating a fire classification and CE marking..
