89/106/EEC - Construction products
Council Directive 89/106/EEC aims to harmonize laws, regulations, and administrative provisions regarding construction products across EU Member States. It sets essential requirements for construction works regarding safety, health, durability, energy efficiency, and environmental protection. The Directive defines construction products and establishes harmonized standards and European technical approvals to facilitate free movement of these products within the internal market. Products conforming to harmonized standards or having European technical approval bear the CE marking, presuming their fitness for intended use. The Directive also provides procedures for the conformity assessment of products through manufacturer controls and third-party certification. It allows for the use of national technical specifications where harmonized standards or technical approvals are not yet available, ensuring market access while respecting national safety and protection levels. Additionally, it sets up a Standing Committee on Construction to advise the Commission on implementation issues. The Directive balances facilitating trade with preserving Member States’ responsibility for safety and public welfare in construction activities.
Purpose
Council Directive 89/106/EEC aims to harmonize the laws, regulations, and administrative provisions of the EU Member States regarding construction products. Its primary goal is to ensure that building and civil engineering works across the EU are designed and executed safely while respecting essential requirements such as safety, health, durability, energy efficiency, environmental protection, and economic aspects. By eliminating technical barriers caused by disparate national regulations and standards, the Directive facilitates the free movement of construction products within the internal market. Harmonization aims to create transparency, enable broad access to the market for manufacturers, and maintain or improve existing protection levels in Member States.
Key Obligations
Fitness for Use: Products intended for permanent incorporation in construction works must be fit for their intended use, meaning they should enable structures to meet the essential requirements set out in the Directive when properly designed and built.
Essential Requirements: Construction works must meet essential requirements concerning safety, health, durability, energy economy, environmental protection, and other public interest aspects. These requirements are set out as objectives and elaborated through interpretative documents and technical specifications.
Harmonized Standards: The Commission mandates the European standardization bodies (CEN, Cenelec) to develop harmonized standards based on the essential requirements. These standards are performance-based and non-mandatory texts but carry presumption of conformity.
European Technical Approvals (ETA): For products without harmonized standards, or those deviating significantly from them, ETAs provide a favorable technical assessment of fitness for use based on common guidelines aligned with essential requirements.
EC Marking: Products that conform to harmonized standards, European technical approvals, or recognized national technical specifications bear the EC mark. This mark signifies compliance and allows free movement and use throughout the Community.
Presumption of Conformity: Products meeting harmonized standards or recognized technical specifications enjoy a presumption of conformity with essential requirements, simplifying market access and regulatory compliance.
Safeguard Clause: Member States retain responsibility for safety and other essential requirements within their territory and can adopt protective measures if harmonized specifications fail to provide adequate protection.
Conformity Assessment: Manufacturers must carry out production control and ensure conformity through supervision, testing, certification, or approved bodies, as appropriate.
Non-Discrimination: Member States must not impede free movement or use of compliant products and must allow market access unless justified by non-compliance with Directive requirements.
Affected Products and Actors
Products: Any construction product produced for permanent incorporation into buildings or civil engineering works. This includes all materials, components, or assemblies used in construction.
Actors:
- Manufacturers or their agents: Responsible for ensuring products comply with essential requirements, affixing the EC mark, and performing conformity assessments.
- European Standardization Bodies (CEN, Cenelec): Tasked with developing harmonized European standards based on Commission mandates.
- Notified Bodies/Approved Bodies: Carry out third-party testing, certification, or evaluation when required.
- Member State Authorities: Responsible for enforcement, issuing protective measures under safeguard clauses, and cooperation with the Commission.
- European Commission: Oversees implementation, issues mandates for standards, manages lists of technical specifications, and monitors the internal market.
Implementation Timeline
- Directive Adoption: 21 December 1988.
- Harmonized Standards Development: Ongoing process following Commission mandates; Member States must publish references of adopted standards.
- Transposition by Member States: Required to implement provisions ensuring products comply with essential requirements and to recognize harmonized standards or technical approvals as basis for free market access.
- Establishment of EC Marking: Manufacturers able to affix from the date harmonized standards or ETAs become available for respective products.
- Interim Measures: For products lacking harmonized standards, European technical approvals provide a process for market access.
- Monitoring: The Commission and Member States regularly review technical specifications and standards to update references and safeguard interests.
The Directive laid the foundation for subsequent acts such as Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 (Construction Products Regulation), further specifying product information and conformity assessment procedures.
The directive applies to construction products produced for permanent incorporation in construction works, including both buildings and civil engineering works. It covers products intended to be used in these works, ensuring they meet essential requirements related to safety, health, durability, energy economy, environmental protection, and other public interest aspects. The directive targets products that influence the technical characteristics of construction works as required by national regulations concerning essential requirements. It establishes harmonized standards, technical approvals, and certification procedures across Member States to facilitate the free movement of compliant construction products within the internal market. The scope includes products for which harmonized or recognized national standards exist, as well as those lacking such standards but requiring technical approval. The directive excludes affecting Member States' rights to impose worker protection requirements related to product use, provided these do not alter product specifications outlined within the directive.

Cette directive vise à éliminer les entraves techniques au commerce intérieur causées par les disparités des normes nationales. Elle établit des exigences essentielles que doivent respecter les ouvrages de construction, ainsi que les critères techniques destinés à harmoniser les normes au niveau européen.
Obligations principales
Aptitude à l’usage : Les États membres doivent garantir que les produits de construction mis sur le marché sont aptes à l’usage prévu, c’est-à-dire qu’ils possèdent les caractéristiques permettant, dans des ouvrages convenablement conçus, de satisfaire aux exigences essentielles définies.
Marquage CE : La directive introduit le marquage CE qui atteste que les produits sont conformes aux normes harmonisées européennes, aux agréments techniques européens ou à des spécifications techniques nationales reconnues comme conformes.
Harmonisation des normes : La Commission, en collaboration avec les organismes européens de normalisation (CEN, CENELEC), établit des mandats pour élaborer des normes harmonisées fondées sur les exigences essentielles. Ces normes sont volontaires mais fournissent une présomption de conformité.
Documents interprétatifs : Ces documents précisent les exigences essentielles et servent de base aux mandats de normalisation et aux règles de délivrance des agréments techniques européens.
Procédures de contrôle et certification : La directive prévoit des procédures de contrôle de production par les fabricants et des essais et certifications effectués par des organismes tiers indépendants pour assurer la conformité des produits.
Clause de sauvegarde : Les États membres peuvent adopter des mesures de protection plus strictes si les produits, malgré leur marquage CE, présentent un risque pour la sécurité ou d'autres intérêts publics, tout en restant conformes aux règles de l’Union.
Produits et acteurs concernés
Produits de construction : La directive s’applique à tout produit fabriqué pour être incorporé de façon durable dans des ouvrages de construction (bâtiments et génie civil).
Fabricants et mandataires : Ils sont responsables d’apposer le marquage CE sur les produits ou leur documentation commerciale, garantissant ainsi la conformité aux normes applicables.
Organismes de normalisation : Le Comité Européen de Normalisation (CEN) et le Comité Européen de Normalisation Électrotechnique (CENELEC) sont reconnus comme responsables de l’élaboration des normes harmonisées.
Autorités nationales : Chargées de contrôler la mise sur le marché, la surveillance des produits et, plus généralement, d’assurer la sécurité et le respect des exigences essentielles.
Calendrier de mise en œuvre
La directive fixe un cadre général sans dates précises dans le texte initial : les États membres devaient transposer cette directive dans leur droit national dans un délai généralement prévu de deux ans à compter de sa publication (soit avant juillet 1990).
La Commission devait établir et mettre à jour les listes des normes harmonisées et des spécifications techniques reconnues, avec le concours des comités d’experts, pour faciliter la libre circulation des produits.
L’adoption progressive de normes harmonisées et de documents interprétatifs devait permettre d’assurer la convergence technique et la reconnaissance mutuelle des produits dans le marché intérieur.
Cette directive a constitué la base pour un régime harmonisé au niveau européen en matière de produits de construction, visant à faciliter le commerce tout en garantissant un haut niveau de sécurité et de qualité des ouvrages construits.

Frequently Asked Questions
An EU Directive is a legislative act of the European Union that sets out goals that all EU member states must achieve. However, it is up to each member state to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals through national transposition. Directives are used to harmonize laws across the EU, particularly for the functioning of the single market.
Directive 89/106/EEC covers "Construction products". There are 8872 standards associated with this directive.
Harmonized standards under 89/106/EEC are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 89/106/EEC, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
