CPR certification & compliance schemes

Challenges in construction and infrastructure compliance 

Construction and infrastructure projects rely on materials and products that must comply with evolving national and international standards. From structural safety to water hygiene and sustainability, conformity with the Construction Products Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 and other frameworks is critical for market access, procurement, and stakeholder assurance. 

As product portfolios expand and supply chains become more global, manufacturers must demonstrate performance, consistency, and regulatory alignment. Voluntary and national schemes provide further assurance of quality and suitability for purpose in local markets.
