Industry Challenge: CPR Traceability Requirements for Steel, Concrete, and More
The July 2024 update to the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR) requires full traceability for all building materials sold in the EU. Key requirements include:
- CE Marking Verification: Proof of compliance to EN 1090 (steel), EN 206 (concrete), and other standards.
- Material Provenance: Records of raw material origin (e.g., recycled steel content, concrete CO2 footprint).
- Lifetime Records: Maintenance logs and end-of-life recycling programs for materials such as insulation and roofing.
The risk of non-compliance is fines of up to €500,000 and project shutdown. A 2023 European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC) report found that 62% of suppliers struggle to manually track data required for CPR across a fragmented supply chain.
