THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLIANCE
The Construction Products Regulation covers all types of construction products. The requirements for information to be shown in a CE Mark are taken from the harmonized product standard BS EN 14351-1:2006 +A1:2010. Most of the information that can be displayed is optional. The required declared data is limited to:
- Thermal performance (expressed as a U-Value)
- Dangerous substances (available from system company and will generally be none)
- Load bearing capacity of safety devices (available from the restriction/safety device manufacturer)
