M/BC/CEN/92/16 - CPD: Prefabric. syst. of floor
CPD: Prefabrication systems of floors
Mandate M/BC/CEN/92/16 addresses the standardisation of prefabrication systems for floors under the Construction Products Directive (CPD). It tasks the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) with developing harmonised standards for these systems to ensure safety, quality, and performance in construction. The mandate aims to facilitate the free movement of prefabricated floor systems within the EU by establishing consistent technical specifications and requirements. This standardisation supports compliance with regulatory frameworks and promotes innovation and competitiveness in the construction sector. The resolution reference for this mandate is CEN/TC 227 143/2002.
Purpose
The mandate M/BC/CEN/92/16 relates to the standardisation of prefabrication systems of floors under the Construction Products Directive (CPD). Its main objective is to develop harmonised European standards that ensure these products meet safety, reliability, and performance requirements across the EU market.
Standardisation request
This mandate requests the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), specifically Technical Committee 227 (CEN/TC 227), to prepare and establish standards for prefabricated floor systems used in construction. The decision falls under the package type, indicating a grouped set of related standards or work items.
Expected deliverables
The deliverables are harmonised European standards that cover technical specifications, testing methods, and conformity criteria for prefabrication systems of floors. These standards aim to facilitate the free movement of construction products within the EU by providing a unified regulatory framework.
Context
This mandate follows the framework set by the Construction Products Directive, which seeks to harmonise requirements for construction products to ensure safety and interoperability. CEN/TC 227, responsible for this task, focuses on floor elements and systems, and the referenced resolution (143/2002) formalises the decision to initiate this standardisation work.
This mandate covers the standardisation of prefabrication systems of floors within the construction products sector, focusing on floor components and their performance, safety, and integration in building works.
General Information
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/92/16 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "CPD: Prefabrication systems of floors". CPD: Prefabrication systems of floors 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.
