Certification.

We certify our cables according to Construction Product Regulation

The goal of CPR is to ensure that all cables used in permanent installations throughout the European Union are assessed, classified and approved under a single criterion. Hence also in OP CABLE we certify cables according to this regulation.

CPR - Construction Products Regulation

The Construction Products Regulation (CPR) lays down harmonised rules for the marketing of construction products in the EU. The Regulation provides a common technical language to assess the performance of construction products. It ensures that reliable information is available to professionals, public authorities, and consumers, so they can compare the performance of products from different manufacturers in different countries.

Benefits for stakeholders

• free circulation of construction products in the EU’s Single Market - products have to be tested only once according to a harmonised European standard or European Assessment Document
• national authorities can set performance requirements using the harmonised European standard or European Assessment Document
• users of construction products can better define their performance demands
• market surveillance can rely on one common information structure.

Benefits of the technical tools of the CPR

• the Declaration of Performance provides information on the performance of a product
• the Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance is a system defining how products are assessed and how the constancy of the assessment results is controlled
• clearer roles for Notified Bodies and Technical Assessment Bodies

Declaration of Performance (DoP)

The Declaration of Performance is a key part of the Construction Products Regulation. It provides information on the performance of a product. Each construction product covered by a European harmonised standard or for which a European Technical Assessment has been issued needs this Declaration and has to be CE marked. This helps increase transparency and improves the functioning of the Single Market.
