Who declares and assesses construction products?
Who declares and assesses construction products?. The manufacturer issues the declaration and affixes CE marking after fulfilling the applicable requirements.
Separate declaration from certification
The manufacturer issues the declaration and affixes CE marking after fulfilling the applicable requirements. A notified body issues the particular certificate or report assigned to it by the relevant system; it does not take over the manufacturer’s declaration. A technical assessment body issues an ETA within its designated competence. Public authorities supervise compliance.
If a distributor requests a single “CE certificate”, identify what evidence the product route actually requires. Provide the declaration and relevant body documents where applicable; do not replace them with a consultant’s endorsement.
Construction product scope and evidence
Identify the product, intended use, manufacturing site and destination market before selecting a cited harmonised standard or an ETA route. An EN number alone does not establish coverage: compare its scope, applicable edition, essential characteristics and official citation. CE marking follows the applicable assessment, technical documentation and the manufacturer’s declaration; a generic certificate or ISO 9001 cannot replace these steps.
CPR transition and responsibilities
Regulation (EU) 2024/3110 largely applies from 8 January 2026, but product families migrate when their new technical specifications become applicable. Products covered by standards cited under CPR 2011 generally continue on that framework during transition. Check the product-specific legal dates and Türkiye’s current national rules separately. The manufacturer issues the declaration and remains responsible for production control; notified bodies perform only their assigned tasks. Kayra supports preparation and coordination, without promising a decision or delivery date.
