It applies to any product intended for permanent use in buildings or infrastructure \u2013 whether made inside or outside the EU.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 20px;\">The updated CPR regulation introduces mandatory environmental reporting, digital documentation and broader CE marking requirements \u2013 with the first obligations beginning to apply from January 2026 for product groups covered by updated harmonized standards and implementing acts.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 20px;\">The CPR is closely aligned with other regulations likes EPBD and CSRD, meaning product-level data must be ready to feed into digital product passports and building-level carbon reporting.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 20px;\">To comply with CPR regulation, manufacturers need to identify their product family, collect reliable data, digitize declarations, engage suppliers and build reusable product models \u2013 not just one-off EPDs.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 20px;\">Ecochain helps manufacturers create high-quality product footprint models, generate EPDs at scale and prepare data for CE marking, DPPs and tenders \u2013 backed by in-house LCA experts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg, #072B49 0%, #0A3D5F 100%); border-radius: 16px; padding: 48px 48px 30px 48px; box-shadow: 0 8px 24px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12); max-width: 800px; position: relative; overflow: hidden;\">\n<div style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; width: 200px; height: 200px; background: radial-gradient(circle, rgba(86, 202, 25, 0.1) 0%, transparent 70%); border-radius: 50%; transform: translate(50%, -50%);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"position: relative; z-index: 1;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 16px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"><span style=\"display: inline-block; background-color: rgba(86, 202, 25, 0.15); color: #56ca19; padding: 6px 14px; border-radius: 24px; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 1px; border: 1px solid rgba(86, 202, 25, 0.3);\">On-Demand<\/span><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 0 0 16px 0; font-size: 26px; font-weight: bold; color: #fff; line-height: 1.25; letter-spacing: -0.5px;\">How CPR is driving EPD demand (and how it impacts your next tender)<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 28px 0; color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8); font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; max-width: 680px;\">Learn how CPR is driving EPD requirements in European tenders, what the new revision demands and how leading manufacturers are adapting their portfolio strategy and processes for scale.<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"background-color: #56ca19; color: #fff; padding: 14px 32px; border-radius: 50px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600; display: inline-flex; align-items: center; gap: 8px; font-size: 15px; transition: all 0.2s; box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(86, 202, 25, 0.25); border: 2px solid transparent;\" href=\"https:\/\/ecochain.com\/webinars\/how-cpr-is-driving-epd-demand-and-how-it-impacts-your-next-tender\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch now<br \/>\n<span style=\"transition: transform 0.2s;\">\u2192<\/span><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 40px;\"><strong>Construction Products Regulation 2024 \u2013 why it matters now for manufacturers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The European construction industry is entering a new era of digital and sustainable transformation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you manufacture construction products for the EU market, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/osha.europa.eu\/en\/legislation\/directives\/regulation-eu-no-305-2011-construction-products\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Construction Products Regulation (CPR)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> compliance is no longer just about CE marking, product performance and safety. The new CPR framework brings sustainability reporting, stronger enforcement, and the foundation for digital documentation like the Digital Product Passport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The updated Construction Products Regulation (Regulation 2024\/3110) goes far beyond the 2011 version. It brings stricter enforcement, clearer market rules and new sustainability data requirements that impact your declarations, your product documentation and your go-to-market readiness across the EU.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short: To access the EU construction market, manufacturers now need to meet a new set of CPR requirements \u2013 applicable from January 2026 onward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And for many teams, the biggest question right now is: <\/span><b>What exactly do we need to do to stay compliant with CPR, CE marking, and the new sustainability requirements?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This guide breaks it down.

Its goal was to remove technical barriers in the single market and harmonize how products are assessed, declared and compared.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key mechanism: Manufacturers declare how their product performs for covered characteristics using the Declaration of Performance (DoP). This links their product to relevant harmonized technical specifications \u2013 typically European standards (hENs) \u2013 and enables CE marking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With CPR compliance, you can:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Affix the CE mark for products covered by harmonized rules.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place those products on the EU\/EEA market without repeating separate national type\u2011testing for the same characteristics.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make your product\u2019s declared performance transparent and comparable for specifiers and regulators.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>But here\u2019s what\u2019s changing:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The revised CPR (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/eli\/reg\/2024\/3110\/oj\/eng\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regulation 2024\/3110<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) keeps the core framework but significantly expands its scope.

These families help determine which harmonized standards (hEN), European Assessment Documents and conformity routes (for example, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu\/sectors\/construction\/construction-products-regulation-cpr\/harmonised-standards_en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hEN<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or European Technical Assessments, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eota.eu\/what-is-an-eta-old\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ETA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) apply in your case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples of product types covered under CPR:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Concrete, cement and mortar products<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Structural metallic components and assemblies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thermal insulation materials<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Floor, wall and ceiling finishes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doors, windows and shutters<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fire safety products such as fire\u2011resisting doors, fire stopping and smoke control components.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some products are outside the CPR\u2019s scope or are primarily regulated under other EU legislation. For example, lifts and certain machinery are covered mainly by the Lifts Directive and Machinery Regulation, and bespoke or one\u2011off heritage components may remain outside harmonized CPR rules if they are not placed on the market as standardized products. In situations where no harmonized standard exists, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eota.eu\/what-is-an-eta-old\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ETAs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can still provide a valid route to demonstrate performance and support CE marking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your products fall into more than one family \u2013 or include both standardized and custom components \u2013 you may need to declare multiple performance characteristics or use different conformity routes depending on the intended application.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What are the core objectives of the Construction Products Regulation?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At its core, the Construction Products Regulation is about making the internal EU market for construction products work better \u2013 by ensuring that performance data is reliable, comparable and consistent across borders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The revised CPR does not change this fundamental purpose, but it expands the scope to cover environmental performance and digital traceability more explicitly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Here\u2019s what CPR regulation sets out to achieve:<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><b>Harmonization of standards<\/b> \u2013 CPR creates a \u2018common technical language\u2019 for construction products across EU countries. This means, for example, that a window tested against a harmonized standard in Germany can be placed on the market in France under the same set of essential characteristics, as long as it carries the CE mark and has a Declaration of Performance (DoP) aligned to the relevant harmonized specifications.<\/p>\n<p><b>Product performance for basic requirements <\/b>\u2013 CPR itself does not certify \u2018safety\u2019 in general, but it requires that construction products declare their performance for characteristics linked to the basic requirements for construction works. These include, among others:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mechanical resistance and stability<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety in case of fire (including reaction to and resistance to fire where relevant)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hygiene, health and environmental aspects<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety and accessibility in use<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protection against noise<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Energy economy and heat retention<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sustainable use of natural resources<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These performance characteristics must be assessed and declared using standardized methods (testing, calculation or descriptive approaches set out in harmonized technical specifications).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Market transparency: <\/b>Declarations of Performance (DoPs) make it easier for customers, specifiers and authorities to understand and compare how products perform for the declared characteristics. The idea is that clearer information supports better design and procurement decisions, fewer disputes, and more trust in what is being sold and installed.<\/p>\n<p><b>Environmental accountability and digitalization: <\/b>With the revised CPR, sustainability is no longer just a voluntary add\u2011on. The new rules introduce mandatory reporting of climate\u2011 and environment\u2011related performance indicators, based on life\u2011cycle information and aligned with standards used for <a href=\"https:\/\/ecochain.com\/blog\/environmental-product-declaration-epd-basics\/\">Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)<\/a>, phased in between 2026 and 2032. Over time, this environmental performance data will be increasingly available in digital formats and Digital Product Passports, making it easier to reuse the same data across CE marking, green building schemes and regulatory reporting.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How CPR connects to other EU sustainability regulations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The revised CPR (Regulation (EU) 2024\/3110) is deeply interconnected with other EU sustainability regulations \u2013 especially those pushing for carbon transparency, resource efficiency and digital documentation in product supply chains.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. CPR and Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CPR is designed to align with the ESPR \u2013 the EU\u2019s horizontal framework to make sustainable product design the default across industries. For construction products, this means:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greater emphasis on durability, reparability, recyclability and minimization of life\u2011cycle environmental impacts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mandatory disclosure of life\u2011cycle environmental impacts, phased in over time<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A foundation for DPPs \u2013 the key transparency mechanism under both regulations<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your products are covered by CPR, ESPR requirements will likely apply as well in the future (with CPR taking precedence where there\u2019s overlap).<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. CPR and Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The revised EPBD introduces building-level carbon metrics \u2013 including operational energy and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">embodied<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> carbon. That second part? It depends heavily on product\u2011level footprint data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CPR creates the legal basis for including construction product data (like EPDs and GWP) into building-level performance assessments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you supply products for EU buildings, your declared CPR impact values will directly influence a project\u2019s ability to meet EPBD targets \u2013 and win tenders.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. CPR and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While CPR is product\u2011focused and CSRD is company\u2011focused, there\u2019s a clear practical link.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CSRD reporting often requires product\u2011level data (like Scope 3 emissions, embodied carbon, recyclability) as part of broader ESG disclosures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The clearer and more verifiable your CPR documentation and environmental data are, the easier it becomes to plug them into CSRD reporting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In practice, you likely won\u2019t be managing \u2018CPR data\u2019 vs \u2018EPBD data\u2019 vs \u2018ESPR data\u2019 separately. You\u2019ll need one reliable product data foundation and LCA automation software like Ecochain that supports all of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg, #072B49 0%, #0A3D5F 100%); border-radius: 12px; padding: 32px 40px; box-shadow: 0 4px 16px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); max-width: 700px; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: space-between; gap: 24px;\">\n<div>\n<h4 style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #fff; line-height: 1.3;\">Get up to speed on product footprinting<\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.75); font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5;\">Practical sessions on EPDs, PCFs, CPR, Scope 3 and more \u2013 upcoming and on-demand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a style=\"background-color: #56ca19; color: #fff; padding: 12px 28px; border-radius: 50px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600; font-size: 14px; white-space: nowrap; box-shadow: 0 3px 10px rgba(86, 202, 25, 0.3); flex-shrink: 0;\" href=\"https:\/\/ecochain.com\/webinars\/\">View webinars \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 30px;\"><strong>What the 2024 CPR revision brings and why it matters now<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In November 2024, the European Parliament and Council adopted a major revision of the Construction Products Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2024\/3110).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the most significant update since CPR was introduced in 2011 \u2013 and it fundamentally changes what compliance looks like for manufacturers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Key dates:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>18 December 2024<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Regulation published in the EU Official Journal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>7 January 2025<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 New CPR enters into force<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>One year later, from 8 January 2026<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Most rules start to apply<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Why is this important now? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The updated CPR expands beyond traditional technical performance to bring:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mandatory environmental impact reporting (phased in)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legal basis for Digital Product Passports<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stronger enforcement and market surveillance<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New digital documentation formats (DoPs, DoPCs \u2013 Declaration of Performance and Conformity, CPR instrument that will increasingly replace standalone EPD-style reporting)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alignment with ESPR, EPBD and other green regulations<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For manufacturers inside and outside the EU, complying with these rules is the price of admission to the world\u2019s largest construction market.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What key changes did the latest 2024 CPR update bring?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The revised CPR introduces several major updates, especially around environmental data, digitalization and performance declarations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s what you need to know:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"><b>Digital Product Passports (DPPs):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> CPR establishes the legal basis for DPPs for construction products, which will contain technical specifications, performance data, installation\/maintenance instructions, end\u2011of\u2011life information and environmental indicators.

But the 2024 revision transforms how manufacturers must do this, especially around sustainability, digitalization and traceability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what\u2019s different:<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>CPR 2011<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>CPR 2024<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Focused on technical performance (e.g. strength, fire resistance)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adds mandatory environmental performance declarations (e.g. GWP\/carbon footprint, circularity indicators) phased in from 2026\u20132032<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paper\u2011based or PDF documentation acceptable<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Requires electronic, machine\u2011readable documentation; legal basis for full Digital Product Passports (DPPs) via delegated acts<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CE mark based on declared technical characteristics only<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CE mark covers all declared characteristics, including environmental ones once required by harmonized specs<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Environmental data optional or market\u2011driven<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Environmental data mandatory for relevant characteristics, phased in from 2026 to 2032<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DoPs in manufacturer\u2019s choice of format<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Standardized electronic DoPs &amp; new DoPC required, integrated with digital systems<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limited formal alignment with sustainability regs<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explicitly aligned with ESPR (DPPs, ecodesign), EPBD (building carbon), CSRD data needs<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, CPR 2024 turns environmental performance into a legal obligation \u2013 not just a customer request.

Its requirements are being phased in over several years \u2013 starting with climate impact reporting in 2026, and expanding to full life cycle indicators by 2032 \u2013 to give manufacturers time to adapt their systems, processes and data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The table below highlights key milestones you need to know:<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Date<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Milestone<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>7 January 2025<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CPR 2024 enters into force<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>8 January 2026<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CPR 2024 becomes applicable; GWP (Global Warming Potential) declarations required for selected products; new Market Surveillance rules replace CPR 2011 chapter<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>31 December 2026<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Impact assessment for Green Public Procurement to be completed<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>8 December 2026<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Member States must notify the European Commission of their national penalties for non-compliance<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>9 January 2030<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mandatory declaration of all core environmental indicators<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>9 January 2031<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Existing EADs (European Assessment Documents) under CPR 2011 are no longer valid<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>9 January 2032<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full declaration of all life cycle environmental indicators becomes mandatory<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20206 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ecochain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/CPR-timeframe.png\" alt=\"Timeline for the revised Construction Products Regulation (CPR 2024\/3110), showing phased implementation of GWP reporting, digital documentation and mandatory environmental indicators from 2026 to 2032.

Identify your product family <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Map your portfolio to the correct CPR product family. This determines which harmonized standards or technical assessments apply \u2013 and what documentation is needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Collect performance and environmental data <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 You\u2019ll need both technical performance data (e.g. structural strength, fire safety, acoustic properties) and environmental impact data (e.g. Global Warming Potential, energy and resource use). An accessible LCA automation software like Ecochain helps you generate environmental impact data for your products reliably and repeatedly \u2013 without having to build it from scratch each time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Create or update your declarations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Declarations of Performance (DoP) and Conformity (DoPC) are increasingly expected in digital formats. CPR makes environmental performance disclosure mandatory, and EN 15804-based <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ecochain.com\/epd\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> remain the most practical way to generate those indicators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. Build a reusable LCA data foundation <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Instead of creating one-off LCAs or isolated EPDs, build a connected model that you can reuse across product variants, factories and regions. Ecochain helps you scale product impact reporting while staying aligned with CPR, ESPR and upcoming DPP formats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continue reading: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ecochain.com\/blog\/choosing-the-right-epd-software-for-construction-manufacturers-7-key-factors-to-consider\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing the right EPD software for construction manufacturers: 7 key factors to consider<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>5. Start digitizing your documentation <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Digital Product Passports aren\u2019t mandatory for most categories yet \u2013 but the groundwork begins now. Start moving your technical and environmental declarations into structured, machine-readable formats with software solutions like Ecochain. This reduces rework later and positions you for digital compliance when it becomes required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>6. Engage your supply chain early <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Lifecycle data also depends on what\u2019s happening upstream. Set up clear data-sharing agreements with suppliers, define system boundaries, and align on scope expectations \u2013 especially for complex or multi-site value chains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>7. Work with accredited experts and bodies <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Ensure your declarations and data are high-quality and verifiable. Work with accredited labs, notified bodies, and experienced LCA partners to validate methods, avoid errors and support third-party review.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>8. Align your organization <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 CPR 2024 touches product, R&amp;D, regulatory, sustainability, IT, marketing and sales. Bring leadership into the conversation early and make sure they\u2019re aware of what\u2019s changing \u2013 and why the work (and budget) can\u2019t be postponed any longer. Discuss with different functions at your company how these requirements affect operations, timelines and customer-facing documentation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>9. Monitor regulatory updates <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 CPR, CSRD and EPBD are evolving. Harmonized standards are being revised, and additional indicators will be phased in over time. Set up reliable monitoring through official sources or industry groups to stay aligned with what\u2019s coming next.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Ecochain helps you turn CPR compliance into a business advantage<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staying compliant with the revised CPR is only part of the job.
