Construction products

Contact: Michael Robert (robert@kan.de)

KAN is lobbying for the future European Construction Products Regulation to consider aspects of product safety over a construction product's entire life-cycle (transport, handling, installation and demolition). In addition, relevant requirements from other EU directives should also be listed in harmonized European standards pursuant to the Construction Products Regulation.
