M/133 - CPD: reaction to fire
Amendment to the mandates to CEN/CENELEC concerning the execution of standardization work for the evaluation of construction products in respect of their reaction to fire (M/088)
Mandate M/133 amends the previous mandate M/088 given to CEN and CENELEC for standardization work related to the evaluation of construction products' reaction to fire. It addresses updates or changes necessary to ensure that the execution of standardization tasks aligns with current regulatory requirements under the Construction Products Directive (CPD). This amendment facilitates the development and harmonization of European standards assessing construction products' fire performance, supporting consistent evaluation criteria across member states. The decision concerning this amendment was recorded in resolution CEN/BT C54/2000.
Purpose
This mandate concerns an amendment to the existing mandates given to the European standardisation organisations CEN and CENELEC. The focus is on the standardisation work related to the evaluation of construction products in respect of their reaction to fire. The goal is to update or adjust the framework governing how fire reaction characteristics of construction products are assessed.
Standardisation request
The mandate requests CEN and CENELEC to implement adjustments or additions to their standardisation activities addressing reaction to fire criteria. This includes revising or supplementing existing standards or developing new standards as needed to reflect current safety requirements and regulatory developments within the Construction Products Directive (CPD) framework.
Expected deliverables
- Revised or new European standards for assessing the reaction to fire of construction products.
- Technical specifications or guidelines that align with the amended mandate M/088 related to fire safety evaluation.
- Documentation supporting compliance with the Construction Products Directive in relation to fire reaction tests.
Context
This mandate (M/133) serves as an amendment to the initial mandate M/088, which addressed the evaluation of construction products concerning their reaction to fire. The (dis-)approval decision, referenced as CEN/BT C54/2000, indicates formal organisational agreement on updating the scope or requirements for standardisation work. This process supports the implementation of the CPD, ensuring that fire safety standards for construction products remain harmonised and up to date within the EU regulatory framework.
This mandate covers the standardization work related to evaluating construction products specifically concerning their reaction to fire. It involves the amendment of previous mandates to ensure harmonized assessment methods and criteria for the fire performance of construction materials and products used in the building and construction sector.

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/133 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Amendment to the mandates to CEN/CENELEC concerning the execution of standardization work for the evaluation of construction products in respect of their reaction to fire (M/088)". Amendment to the mandates to CEN/CENELEC concerning the execution of standardization work for the evaluation of construction products in respect of their reaction to fire (M/088) There are 0 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.
