CPR and DPP for construction products

Basic construction materials such as concrete, cement, bricks, insulation, timber, metal profiles, as well as complex products with significant environmental impact.

Material composition and origin, energy efficiency, carbon footprint, recycling possibilities, safe use instructions, and end-of-life information.

Manufacturers, importers, and distributors of construction materials, as well as retailers of products used in construction.

Increased transparency, competitive advantage, easier access to markets and customers, as well as compliance with EU environmental standards.

The passport facilitates material reuse, reduces waste, and allows better resource management throughout the entire product lifecycle.

Start collecting product data, build internal processes for transparency, and plan integration with management and traceability systems.

Because CPR (EU) 2024/3110 is the sector-specific regulation for construction products (lex specialis), and ESPR explicitly excludes products covered by the CPR. That is why construction materials follow the CPR — with a DoPC, a GWP declaration and a phased Digital Product Passport — rather than an ESPR delegated act.

The DoPC (Declaration of Performance and Conformity) merges the DoP and the CE declaration and adds environmental data (GWP per EN 15804). It is the data foundation that then feeds the construction DPP — so the data collected for the DoPC is reused for the passport as well.

In phases. A delegated act for DPP service providers is expected around Q2 2027, followed by an act for the construction DPP system itself (data carrier, registry, access levels). For now there are no officially authorised construction DPP service providers — early preparation gives an advantage.

The carbon data (GWP/EPD) that the CPR requires under EN 15804 overlaps with the embedded-emissions reporting under CBAM for imports of cement, steel and aluminium. Collected once, the same data feeds both the DoPC/DPP and CBAM — with no duplication.
