Issues related to construction products regulations

Abstract

When implementing the EU internal market, already in 1985, the European Council placed particular emphasis on certain sectors, including construction, imposing the need to establish essential requirements for products created to meet various human needs, including safety and other aspects important for the general good, in order to achieve and ensure a high level of protection. In the case of construction products, the essential requirements consist of both general and specific criteria to be met by the construction work. These requirements should be interpreted in such a way that these facilities should meet one, several or all of these requirements to an appropriate degree of  credibility, if provided for by the regulations.
