CE Marking

to the CPR:What does it all mean?


3/12

With effect from 1st July 2013, under

the new Construction Products

Regulation (CPR), virtually all

construction products must carry

the CE mark before they can legally

be sold in Europe.

There are various exceptions. Many new

or innovative products, for instance, fall

outside the scope of current European

Standards/Technical Approvals and

therefore cannot be CE marked.Where it is applied, CE marking makes it

easy for specifiers, distributors and end

users across Europe to see immediately

that a product has a standard technical

specification and, as the information

and layout is standardised too, it helps

simplify comparisons between products

manufactured in different countries,encouraging trade.

The CE mark is applied either directly

to a product, its packaging or to its

accompanying documentation.

CE marking, however, does not replace

local Building Regulations. Users in

the UK still need to ensure that a

product complies with any local market

requirements. For example, in addition

to declaring performance in tension

and compression to the European

Standard EN 845 Part 1, cavity wall tiesin England and Wales should also meet

the acoustic requirements of Approved

Document E: Resistance to the passage

of sound.

Did you know?CE is an abbreviation of the French, ConformitEuropenne, meaning European Conformity.

CE marking is a method of identifying those products thatcomply with a harmonised European Standard or have aEuropean Technical Approval.

What do we mean by CE Marking?

4/12

Under the new Construction Products

Regulation, it is mandatory to apply the

mark to a construction product covered

by a harmonised European Standard

or when it conforms to a European

Technical Assessment that has been

issued for it.

To qualify for a CE mark, manufacturers

must undertake several tasks. These

are specific to each product type and

are given in the Standard.Tasks include:

Testing of each product type

Ensuring the necessary factory

production controls are in place

to guarantee consistency

Publishing a signed Declaration of

Performance (DoP) for each product

Issuing the CE mark with the

product, accompanied by any

essential additional information

In some cases, the tasks must be

undertaken by an approved external

body, rather than the manufacturer.

The Declaration of Performance, also

referred to as an EC Declaration of

Conformity by many current European

Standards, must be readily available

and translated into the language of

the country in which the product is

supplied. A hard copy must be

available on request.

Once the DoP has been completed,

and the CE mark applied, the

manufacturer has a legal responsibilityto ensure the product continues to

conform to the Standard.

Failure to CE mark a product

where required, or to ensure ongoing

conformity, leaves a manufacturer open

to legal action. Products concerned can

be removed from sale by enforcement

agencies e.g. Trading Standards inthe UK.

How does CE Marking work?

CE marking is not new it has been compulsory for a widerange of everyday products for many years for instance,toys, machinery and electrical items.

To prepare for its adoption in the UK

and Ireland, where we sell a slightly

different portfolio of products, we

successfully carried out extensive

independent product testing, passed

external audits of our manufacturing

facilities, published the necessary

collection of Declarations (DoPs)

and have applied the CE mark to

all affected Ancon products.

Employees from across the business,

in purchasing, production, engineering,

marketing and sales, worked together

to meet the CE marking deadline, and

have ensured all necessary working

practices, procedures and skills are

in place to achieve and maintain

compliance with all aspects of the

Construction Products Regulations.

Since 1st July 2013, all Ancon

products have carried a CE markwhere required.

What Ancon has done toensure CE Marking compliance

As a leading manufacturer of steel construction products, withestablished sales throughout Europe, Ancon has been workingwith CE Marking legislation for many years. In fact, it has beenmandatory in many of our key European markets for some time.

Q: I am a distributor, does CE Marking affect me?A: You need to be sure that all of the construction products you sell meet

the requirements of the CPR and carry the CE mark where appropriate.

You also need to ensure products are accompanied by the correct

documentation and that relevant additional information is supplied

when requested.

Ancon distributors can be confident that all of our products meet the CPR

requirements and are CE marked where appropriate. You can download

any Declaration of Performance (DoP) and other relevant information from

www.ancon.co.uk/CE.

Q: I am a distributor, what about old stock which does not carrya CE mark?

A: Only construction products manufactured after 1st July 2013 are affected.Stock supplied before this date is unaffected.

Q: I am a contractor, CE Marking doesnt affect me, does it?A: You need to be satisfied that the products you use meet the requirements

of the CPR, as well as meeting the performance criteria for the project

involved. The project engineers specification should take all this into

account. You should also be aware that if you modify a CE marked

product in any way that may affect the DoP, you effectively become

the manufacturer. You must therefore carry out any necessary testing,draw up your own Declaration of Performance and ensure continuing

compliance with the Regulation.

All Ancon products are CE marked where required and we offer free

technical support on product suitability. Our DoPs are available from

www.ancon.co.uk/CE. Some Ancon products can be modified on site

to our instructions, without affecting the validity of the CE mark e.g.

AnconOptima masonry support.

Q: I am an engineer, do I need to make any changesto how I specify products?

A: Product specifications should be amended to include CE marked itemsonly, where the product is covered by a harmonised European Standard

e.g. masonry support systems, windposts, wall ties and bed joint

reinforcement. A list of harmonised standards is available from NANDO

http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/newapproach/nando/

By specifying Ancon, engineers are guaranteed CE marked products,

backed by Eurocode designs. Ancon provides technical advice and

specification assistance.

Q: What about Ancon products that are not currentlycovered by a harmonised European standard (hEN)

or ETA can I still specify, sell or use them?

A: Yes, this is completely acceptable. Ancon holds a number of voluntary, third party approvals for its products

(see page 10). These have similar or sometimes even greater compliance

requirements than CE marking.

We are continuing to monitor the position with regards to new European

Standards, and will publish any changes at www.ancon.co.uk.
