In essence, the ESPR establishes comprehensive requirements for the mandatory use of Digital Product Passports (DPPs) for various products in the EU market. These passports will be implemented gradually, prioritising different products based on their environmental impact and potential for improvement.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember690\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">In a few years, EU manufacturers will be required to produce DPPs for their products. These digital identities will contain information not only about the product\u2019s characteristics, such as its dimensions. The DPPs will also ensure new ecodesign requirements aimed at enhancing products\u2019 durability, reliability, reusability, and more, while maintaining performance, safety, reducing carbon and environmental footprints.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p id=\"ember691\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>CPR: unified rules for enhanced construction practices<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"ember692\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Alongside this is the revised <a class=\"app-aware-link \" href=\"https:\/\/single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu\/sectors\/construction\/construction-products-regulation-cpr_en\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\" data-test-app-aware-link=\"\">Construction Products Regulation (CPR).<\/a> The aim of the CPR is to enhance standardisation and market surveillance while reducing the administrative burden by introducing DPPs in line with the ESPR. The revised CPR aims to align its objectives more closely with the <a class=\"app-aware-link \" href=\"https:\/\/commission.europa.eu\/strategy-and-policy\/priorities-2019-2024\/european-green-deal_en\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\" data-test-app-aware-link=\"\">EU Green Deal<\/a> and the overall strive towards a circular economy.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember693\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">This regulation intends to provide the construction industry with a clear and unified set of rules, simplifying compliance for manufacturers and promoting sustainable practices. By requiring manufacturers to generate a single set of comprehensive data that accompanies a product throughout its lifecycle, the CPR will facilitate better traceability and transparency.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember694\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">The integration of circular economy principles within the CPR supports the transition to more sustainable construction practices, fostering innovation and competitiveness in the EU construction sector.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><p id=\"ember695\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>What will change?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"ember696\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">As a manufacturer, you will already be familiar with the need to issue a Declaration of Performance for products (DoP). These have been mandatory since 2011 and usually consist of a document in PDF format, containing information about a product\u2019s characteristics. Under the new rules, however, these declarations will no longer be sufficient.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember697\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">According to the new CPR, however, the DoP has to be now accompanied by a Declaration of Conformity, forming a combined <strong>Declaration of Performance and Conformity (DoPC<\/strong>).\u00a0 Notably, environmental information will from now on be required in DoPC, starting with the most notable one &#8211; climate change effects or the global warming potential.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember698\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">One key aspect of the new rules is the introduction of the requirement to issue a DPP for construction products, whose digital dataset is the DoPC, based on a common data template. This dataset will need to be stored in a system, currently subject of a feasibility study, and this dataset must be both machine-readable and interpretable.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember699\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">The exact position of the UK in the light of Europe\u2019s adoption of the EU CPR revision and ESPR after 2025 is still to be finalised, but the likelihood is that it will be in the UK construction industry\u2019s interest to conform with these harmonised standards. Certainly, for any UK manufacturers exporting to the EU, it will be essential to be able to provide data in the new required format and to satisfy the harmonised standards.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><p id=\"ember700\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>New possibilities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"ember701\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Discussions taking place around the revised CPR indicate that the most effective route to ensure a common approach and format for the digital DoPC will be the introduction of a European data dictionary for the construction industry, such as <a class=\"app-aware-link \" href=\"https:\/\/definehub.com\/en\/european-data-dictionary\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\" data-test-app-aware-link=\"\">Define\u2019s European data dictionary<\/a>. This will make it possible to introduce a common digital language between countries, ensuring that companies working across borders are using the same standardised data framework.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember702\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\"><strong>How will DPPs help?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"ember703\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">Standardised, digitised data will make it far easier to conduct the \u201cbuilding lifecycle assessments\u201d that are now considered essential to achieving net zero carbon targets in the construction industry. It will also make tracking products infinitely more efficient. Trying to keep tabs on a multitude of PDF documents for a variety of different building parts is a full-time job \u2013 full digitisation will save hours of labour throughout the construction supply chain.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember704\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">A set of harmonised standards that extends across the continent of Europe as well as the EU economic zone will improve building quality and boost confidence within the sector. The Digital Product Passport has the potential to do what its name suggests &#8211; to reduce trade barriers, smoothing the flow of products and information about them across the continent and giving the construction industry the boost it so urgently needs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ember705\" class=\"ember-view reader-text-block__paragraph\">The changes are coming, and they represent a challenge but also an opportunity for us as a sector. We just need to get ready \u2013 fast.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The article provides a comprehensive overview of the upcoming regulations changes aiming at making sustainable products the norm in the EU and boosting circular business models.
