M/BC/CEN/92/23 - CPD: Floor & stairs finishes
CPD: Floor & stairs finishes
The mandate M/BC/CEN/92/23 concerns the standardisation of floor and stairs finishes under the Construction Products Directive (CPD). It involves the development of harmonised European standards by CEN Technical Committee 227 to ensure safety, quality, and performance requirements for flooring and stair finishing materials. This standardisation aims to facilitate the free movement of construction products within the EU market while ensuring compliance with relevant regulations. The mandate focuses on creating technical specifications that address durability, slip resistance, and other essential characteristics necessary for consumer protection and construction safety.
Purpose
This mandate focuses on the standardisation of floor and stairs finishes within the Construction Products Directive (CPD) framework. It aims to ensure that harmonised standards are developed to support the efficient marketing and use of these construction products across the European Union.
Standardisation request
The mandate requests the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), specifically technical committee CEN/TC 227, to develop and maintain harmonised European standards for floor and stairs finishes. These standards should facilitate compliance with the essential requirements laid down by the CPD, covering aspects such as safety, durability, and performance characteristics relevant to these products.
Expected deliverables
- Harmonised European standards for floor finishes.
- Harmonised European standards for stairs finishes.
- Documentation that aligns with the essential requirements of the CPD to enable CE marking of these products.
- Guidelines and specifications to support the consistent assessment and testing of floor and stairs finishes.
Context
The mandate was resolved through package decision CEN/TC 227 143/2002, underscoring the need for coordinated standardisation efforts in the construction sector to promote product safety, interoperability, and free movement within the EU internal market. This fits within the broader policy framework of the Construction Products Directive, which aims to harmonise technical requirements and facilitate trade of construction products.
This mandate covers the standardisation of floor and stairs finishes, including materials, performance, and safety requirements related to construction products used in flooring and stair applications.
