CPR 3+ Validation Check
Your Path to Sustainable Construction Product Compliance
The new Construction Products Regulation (CPR), which came into effect on January 7, 2025, sets new standards for placing construction products on the EU internal market. In addition to product safety and consumer protection, it places a stronger emphasis on environmental sustainability. A key requirement is the preparation of a product-specific validation report documenting the environmental and sustainability characteristics of your product.
With our CPR 3+ Validation Check, we support you in meeting these new requirements. Our service includes the preparation of a validation report on ecological sustainability, which forms the basis for your Declaration of Performance and Conformity.
Why is the CPR 3+ Validation Report important?
The validation report is part of the new AVS 3+ assessment system and serves as proof of the sustainability performance of your construction products. As part of AVS 3+, a notified body conducts an initial inspection of your company or production site to collect relevant company-specific data.
The validation report follows the standards for environmental declarations in accordance with EN 15804 / ISO 21930 and covers numerous environmental indicators, including:
- Global Warming Potential (GWP) – total, fossil, biogenic, land use
- Ozone depletion & photochemical ozone creation
- Acidification & eutrophication – freshwater, marine, terrestrial
- Resource depletion – metals, fossil fuels
- Water use & particulate matter emissions
- Ecotoxicity & human toxicity
Our Validation Process
- Initial inspection of your company or production site
- Data collection on production, logistics, packaging, energy use, and more
- Preparation of the validation report based on the scientific life cycle assessment (LCA) approach
- Integration of the results into your Declaration of Performance and Conformity
We’re also happy to support you in modeling and calculating environmental indicators using proven LCA methodologies.
Kiwa-Ecobility Experts is not only an internationally recognized EPD program operator, but through the Kiwa Group also serves as a notified body for the technical assessment of construction products. We work with various notified bodies depending on the specific product and requirements — seamlessly and collaboratively with our colleagues.
