M/BC/CEN/92/14 - CPD: Ext. & int. walls
CPD: External & internal walls & partitions
Mandate M/BC/CEN/92/14 concerns the standardisation of external and internal walls and partitions under the Construction Products Directive (CPD). It addresses the development and harmonisation of relevant standards by CEN Technical Committee 227 to ensure compliance with CPD requirements. The decision involves a package approach to cover various aspects of walls and partitions, aiming to support the construction sector with consistent and reliable standards for these building elements. The resolution reference for this mandate is CEN/TC 227 143/2002.
Purpose
The mandate M/BC/CEN/92/14 concerns the development of European standards for external and internal walls and partitions. The objective is to support the Construction Products Directive (CPD) by harmonizing technical specifications related to these building elements, ensuring safety, performance, and interoperability across the European Union.
Standardisation request
This mandate requests the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) to develop standardized methods and criteria pertaining to the characteristics of external and internal walls and partitions used in construction. The focus includes performance requirements, testing methods, and classification systems that align with CPD requirements.
Expected deliverables
The deliverables are a package of harmonized European standards covering various aspects of external and internal walls and partitions. These standards are anticipated to address dimensions, mechanical performance, fire resistance, thermal insulation, acoustic properties, durability, and other relevant factors contributing to their regulatory compliance and market acceptance under the CPD framework.
Context
This mandate is based on resolution reference CEN/TC 227 143/2002 and falls under the scope of CPD-related standardization activities. The standardization work aligns with broader EU efforts to facilitate the free movement of construction products and ensure a common technical language for building elements throughout Europe. It supports manufacturers, regulators, and market stakeholders by providing clear and consistent European standards for walls and partitions.
The mandate covers the standardisation of external and internal walls and partitions within the construction products sector, focusing on requirements related to the Construction Products Directive (CPD).
General Information
This European Standard specifies a method of determining the bond behaviour between reinforcing bars and autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) in prefabricated reinforced components according to prEN 12602. The test method is conceived to obtain values for the short term bond strength, tbm, with different combinations of concrete type, bar shape and corrosion protection system.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/BC/CEN/92/14 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "CPD: External & internal walls & partitions". CPD: External & internal walls & partitions There are 6 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
