M/385 - Construction products
AMENDMENT TO: Horizontal complement M/88 to the mandates to CEN/CENELEC concerning the execution of standardisation work for the evaluation of construction products in respect of their reaction to fire
Mandate M/385 amends the horizontal complement M/88 to previous mandates given to CEN and CENELEC. It concerns the execution of standardisation work for evaluating the reaction to fire of construction products. The amendment aims to update and refine the framework for standard development in this field. The decision on this mandate was referenced as CEN/BT C037/2006 and involves either approval or disapproval regarding the continuation or modification of the existing standardisation tasks related to fire performance assessment of construction materials.
Purpose
The mandate M/385 concerns an amendment to a previous standardisation mandate, M/88, issued to the European standardisation organisations CEN and CENELEC. The focus is on the execution of standardisation work related to evaluating construction products, specifically regarding their reaction to fire. The amendment aims to update or complement existing mandates to reflect new requirements or developments in this area.
Standardisation request
This mandate requests the European standardisation bodies CEN and CENELEC to undertake or amend standardisation activities for construction products concerning their fire reaction properties. The work should align with horizontal standardisation principles applicable across construction product categories, ensuring harmonised evaluation methods and criteria to enhance safety and compliance within the EU.
Expected deliverables
The deliverables expected from this mandate include updated or new European standards developed or revised by CEN/CENELEC that cover the assessment of the reaction to fire of construction products. These standards are intended to support uniform regulatory implementation by providing consistent methodologies and criteria for product evaluation within the EU construction sector.
Context
The mandate M/385 serves as an amendment to mandate M/88, reflecting the evolving need for unified fire safety evaluation standards for construction products across Europe. It aligns with broader EU objectives to ensure the safety, performance, and marketability of construction materials under harmonised rules. The decision related to approval or disapproval of this amendment is referenced in resolution CEN/BT C037/2006. This activity forms part of ongoing efforts to maintain and enhance the standardisation framework supporting construction product legislation in the EU.
This mandate covers the standardisation work related to the evaluation of construction products specifically concerning their reaction to fire. It amends the horizontal complement M/88 to mandates given to CEN/CENELEC for developing standards in the construction products sector focused on fire safety performance.

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/385 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "AMENDMENT TO: Horizontal complement M/88 to the mandates to CEN/CENELEC concerning the execution of standardisation work for the evaluation of construction products in respect of their reaction to fire". AMENDMENT TO: Horizontal complement M/88 to the mandates to CEN/CENELEC concerning the execution of standardisation work for the evaluation of construction products in respect of their reaction to fire 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.
