The materials and products produced by ICF members form an integral part of the construction supply chain. The integrity of the products used in the construction industry is paramount to ensuring that our buildings and infrastructure meet the needs of clients and end-users.

The Construction Products Regulation (CPR) entered into effect in July 2013 and requires that all construction products covered by a harmonised standard (hEN) or a European Technical Assessment (ETA), placed on the market must have a Declaration of Performance (DoP) drawn up by the manufacturer and carry the CE-mark.

The intent of the CPR is that all manufacturers in Europe are under the same obligations to provide clear, complete and reliable information on construction products that they place on the market.

ICF participates in expert panels of the National Standards Authority of Ireland and produces technical guidance on the most important standards, some of which are available on this website. In addition, we organise events to disseminate knowledge on standard related developments throughout our membership.
