The EU ESPR and CPR are reshaping how construction products are documented and traded. This reference covers the regulations, standards, product family obligations, and technical concepts you need to prepare.
All topics
ESPR and CPR key dates, hEN delegated act schedule, CBAM enforcement, and Buy Clean California milestones.
EN 15804, EN 16908, ESPR 2024/1781, CPR 2024/3110, prEN 18246, GS1 Digital Link, ISO 14067, and more.
Answers to 20+ common questions about what DPPs are, who needs them, how they are created, and how they relate to EPDs and CBAM.
30+ terms defined: CBAM, CPR, DPP, ESPR, EPD, GS1, GTIN, GWP, hEN, PCF, PCR, prEN 18246, UPI, and more.
CEM I through CEM V types, EN 16908 PCR, GWP benchmarks, GGBFS slag reduction pathways, and mandate timeline.
EAF vs BF-BOF route GWP comparison, H2-DRI green steel frontier, EN 10025 series, and DPP mandate schedule.
Mineral wool, EPS, XPS, PUR/PIR, and natural fibre GWP ranges. Functional unit considerations and biogenic carbon.
Ready-mix vs precast, SCM replacement pathways, CO2 curing, typical GWP 150–400 kg CO2e/m3, and EN 206.
Key dates
ESPR and CPR are already in force. The product-specific DPP mandates arrive through harmonised standard (hEN) delegated acts — cement, structural steel, and precast concrete are the first wave, estimated Q4 2026.
Full regulatory timelineProduct families
DPP obligations under ESPR are activated product-by-product through delegated acts referencing harmonised standards. The first construction product families in scope are those with existing CE marking under CPR.
