CPR 2024/3110: managing the transition

Use product-family dates

The main application date does not mean every existing CPR 2011 declaration must immediately be replaced. Check whether the family still relies on an old cited standard or has moved to a new applicable specification. Distinguish the earlier declaration of performance from the new declaration of performance and conformity, and track environmental and digital obligations through their specific implementing dates.

If a supplier proposes a new template in 2026 while the product still follows a CPR 2011 cited standard, record the applicable legal basis before rewriting its documentation. Do not present a digital product passport as already compulsory for every construction product.

Articles 94–95 preserve specified CPR 2011 provisions until 8 January 2040 and keep the old cited harmonised standards valid until withdrawal or repeal. The older cited EADs have their own deadlines: generally 9 January 2031 for validity and 9 January 2036 for placing products on the market on the basis of the resulting ETAs, subject to the applicable conditions and replacement specifications. Earlier certificates and reports are reusable only when the product type, requirements and methods remain suitable; their date alone does not establish transferability.
