The EU Construction Products Regulation (EU CPR) . Standards are developed by European standardisation bodies, and define the methods and the criteria for assessing the performance of the product in relation to its 鈥渆ssential characteristics鈥�. Standards become harmonised when the reference to the standard is published in the Official Journal of the European Union - see .

Where a harmonised European standard (or 鈥榟EN鈥�) exists for a product, the EU CPR places obligations on manufacturers, distributors and importers (known collectively as 鈥榚conomic operators鈥�) of that product when it is placed on the market in the European Economic Area (EEA). The product must have a declaration of performance and have been affixed with the 鈥楥E鈥� marking.

In order to safeguard the reliability of the declaration of performance, the EU CPR provides for systems of 鈥淎ssessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance鈥� (AVCP). Where third-party assessment of the performance of construction products is required, this assessment may only be undertaken by authorised 鈥榥otified bodies鈥�. Notified bodies are accredited, and Member States then formally 鈥榥otify鈥� the European Commission and other European Union countries. Those notified bodies are listed on the EU鈥檚 database (the 鈥楴ew Approach Notified and Designated Organisations鈥� database - known as 鈥楴ANDO鈥�).

Where the standard requires third-party assessment, that notified body鈥檚 4-digit identification number must be affixed to the product.

The EU CPR also allows manufacturers to affix the CE marking to products that are not fully covered by a harmonised European standard. This is permitted where manufacturers receive a technical assessment of their product based on a 鈥楨uropean Assessment Document鈥� (EAD). EADs are devised by the group of 鈥榯echnical assessment bodies鈥� (TABs).

Further information on the approach for products that are not fully covered by a harmonised standard can be found at the .

This guidance refers to the requirement in some circumstances for the UK(NI) indication for construction products, sometimes referred to as the UK(NI) marking or UKNI marking. The terms refer to the same thing.

Manufacturers placing products on the Northern Ireland market should note:

• Products will need to meet European Union harmonised European standards, and bear either the CE marking or the CE marking & UK(NI) indication to be placed on the NI market.
• Goods with the UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) mark alone will not be accepted on the NI market.
• Where third-party conformity assessment has been carried out by a United Kingdom approved body, the economic operator must affix the UK(NI) indication in addition to CE marking. Where the conformity assessment has been carried out by an EU-approved body, only the CE marking is required.
• Once legislation gives effect to the relevant provisions, products meeting NI requirements and bearing the CE marking or CE marking with UK(NI) indication, and which are qualifying NI goods, will be able to be placed on the entire UK market on an ongoing basis. In the meantime, all such products bearing the CE mark, whether qualifying NI goods or not, can be placed on the entire UK market until recognition of CE marking ends on 30 June 2025. Legislate to recognise qualifying NI goods is intended to be brought in ahead of this date.

Distributors who first make a product available on the market in Northern Ireland from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or NI will now be classified as 鈥榠mporters鈥�. This change in status will bring new obligations, such as a requirement for importers to label their products with their name and address.

Examples of other obligations on importers include:

• ensuring the assessment and the verification of constancy of performance have been carried out by the manufacturer
• drawing up relevant technical documentation
• ensuring that the product bears the conformity marking, and that the manufacturer has complied with their labelling obligations
• keeping records for 10 years
• carrying out sample testing

After the end of the transition period, authorised representatives will need to be established in either NI or the EEA to act on the manufacturer鈥檚 behalf in relation to specified tasks.

Manufacturers with an authorised representative based in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) will need to appoint a new authorised representative in either NI or the EEA.

NI economic operators - whether manufacturers, importers, distributors, or authorised representatives - should consider taking professional advice to make sure that they understand their status and obligations under the new NI regulatory framework.

The Northern Ireland Protocol provides for a new UK(NI) indication (also known as the 鈥楿KNI marking鈥�). This is a new additional conformity marking for products placed on the market in Northern Ireland. However, it is important to note that is not required for all goods being placed on the NI market. CE marking with the UK(NI) indication is required only if the mandatory third-party conformity assessment for a product is conducted by a body based in the United Kingdom.

You need to use a conformity marking if you are placing certain goods on the market to show they meet the relevant rules. In NI, after the end of the transition period, EU conformity markings will continue to be used to show goods meet EU rules. For most construction products, this is the CE marking. If using a conformity body based in the EU, this is the only marking required.

If you choose to use UK bodies for approvals or certification, in addition to the EU conformity marking, you must also affix the UK(NI) indication

The UK(NI) indication is not permitted on its own - it must always accompany the EU conformity marking. If you are placing goods on the EU market, you must follow EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR) rules. This includes using an EU-recognised conformity assessment body and CE marking.

It is important to note that goods bearing the CE marking with UK(NI) indication will not be accepted on the EU market, as UK conformity assessment bodies will no longer be recognised by the EU. For goods to be accepted on the EU market, conformity assessment must have been conducted by an EU-recognised body.

When to use the UK(NI) indication

You will need to use the UK(NI) indication if:

• you are placing goods subject to CE marking on the NI market after the end of the transition period
• your goods require mandatory third-party conformity assessment
• you use a UK body to carry out those conformity assessments after the end of the transition period

You do not need to use the UK(NI) indication if:

• you use an EU body to carry out conformity assessments

If you are a manufacturer based in NI (or the manufacturer鈥檚 authorised representative) and you currently mark your goods on the basis of a supplier鈥檚 declaration of conformity (ie, self-certify), you will not need to make any changes. Qualifying NI goods will continue to have full access to the Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) market using those markings, because of the principle of unfettered access. The intention is that those CE marked goods will be accepted on the GB market until 30 June 2025 even if they are not qualifying NI goods.

Using UK approved bodies

For the NI market, UK 鈥榓pproved bodies鈥� will be designated by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) and allowed to assess the performance of construction products to EU harmonised standards. This will enable economic operators to use the CE marking with the UK(NI) indication and place their product on the NI market.

These bodies will be listed on the .

Your construction products goods may require different markings for different markets. The table below illustrates the accepted markings on each market.

*You may use combinations of the product markings listed in each box and your goods may be acceptable with more than one marking. However, for the EU market, the CE marking must appear without the UK(NI) indication, as goods bearing the CE & UK(NI) marking are not acceptable in the EU. This means these goods must be manufactured to EU rules, and cannot be assessed by a body based in the United Kingdom.

Market surveillance

The UK has powers to carry out market surveillance and enforcement in NI to ensure that non-compliant products can be removed from the UK market. In NI, enforcement action will continue to be taken by Environmental Health Officers. The government is developing UK databases that will help 91香蕉黄色视频 this work.
