What is the Construction Products (CPD) Directive?

The Construction Products Directive (CPD) applies to you if you manufacture and distribute construction products within the European Economic Area.

What does the directive cover?

The Construction Products Directive (CPD) has a very broad scope and applies to all types of products from welding consumables to building materials to road construction products. If a technical specification has been published for the product concerned, you need to comply with this specification.

All products covered by the directive must meet the relevant essential safety requirements defined within Annex I of the CPD. These requirements fall into the following categories:

• mechanical resistance and stability

• safety in the case of fire

• hygiene, health and the environment

• safety in use

• protection against noise

• energy economy and heat retention.
