On 10 April 2024, the European Parliament approved the compromise text of the Construction Products Regulation that had been reached in interinstitutional negotiations.

The new Regulation is intended to make the standards publication process faster and more efficient. It now also contains requirements concerning the safety of construction products. In future, users will be able to call up information on a construction product through a digital product passport. The new provisions promote the use of recycled building materials. Following formal approval by the Council, the Regulation is expected to be published in the Official Journal of the EU in the autumn of 2024 and to come into force 20 days later. Certain aspects are subject to longer transition periods.
