CPR 2024 to introduce new European standards for concrete

The upcoming Construction Products Regulation (CPR) 2024 is set to introduce significant changes to the European construction market, particularly regarding concrete and raw materials. The new regulation aims to harmonize technical and sustainability requirements across Europe, impacting product standards, certification, and environmental data.

Under CPR 2024, environmental data will no longer be separate from product information but will become an integral part of how products are assessed and compared on the European market. This shift requires producers to change how they build, verify, and provide environmental data to clients, designers, and regulators.

Key developments include the creation of new harmonized standards for cement, prefabricated concrete, and concrete mortar. Experts will discuss the impact of these changes on Dutch Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) systems, certification bodies like KOMO and NL-BSB, and the broader European regulatory framework.
