CE-marking for Construction Products

The CE-marking indicates that a construction product is conform to a "harmonized" European standard (hEN) or a European technical license (ETZ) and certifies the application of the therein determined certification system of conformity.

What products must already carry the CE-marking?

The following construction products, among others, must already have a CE-marking in order to be marketed in the European Economic Area (EEA):

  • Asphalt
  • Concrete components
  • Geo-textiles
  • Aggregates

How  to get the CE-Label

The Construction Products Directive (CPD) distinguishes six systems for the proof of conformity,  of which AS+C offers the following 4 systems:

System 1:

  1. Application for the CE-marking by the manufacturer
  2. Initial testing of the product by a notified testing body (AS+C)
  3. Initial inspection of the factory, the factory's  production-control and sampling by a  notified testing body (AS+C)
  4. Testing of the samples by the manufacturer (according to a specific quality control plan)
  5. Certification of the product, on the basis of the initial inspection of the factory and the factory's production-control, by a notified testing body (AS+C)
  6. Continuous monitoring of the factory's production-control system by the notified testing body (AS+C).

System 1+:

  1. All steps of system 1 
  2. Continuous sampling by the notified testing body (AS+C).

System 2: 

  1. Application for CE-marking by the manufacturer.
  2. Initial-testing of the product by the manufacturer.
  3. factory's production-control.
  4. Initial-inspection of the factory and the factory's production control by a notified testing body (AS+C).
  5. Certification of the factory's production-control.

System 2+:

  1. All steps of system 2
  2. Testing of the samples by the manufacturer (according to a specific quality-control plan)
  3. Continuous monitoring of the factory's production-control by the notarized notified testing body (AS+C).
