CPR - Europe Construction Products Regulation

NIKOMAX Copper Cables are CPR ready!

CPR - the Construction Products Regulation (EU 305/2011), which is part of the European Union legislative framework supporting free movement of goods across the borders in the EU region

The CPR identifies a number of basic requirements that shall be met by products used in construction works (e.g. buildings, but also roads, bridges, etc.), some of which are “mechanical resistance and stability” (to avoid collapse etc.), “safety in case of fire” (impact on spread of fire, smoke generation, etc.), and “hygiene, health and the environment” (emission of dangerous substances, toxic gasses, etc.).

Constructive Products Regulation (CPR) fully applicable as law in all EU Member States from July 2013 onwards and July 2017 will be the deadline for all cable products to comply with this regulation.

The basic reference standard for cables and their performance with respect to fire under the CPR is:

EN 50575:2014 (incl. A1:2016) Power, control and communication cables – Cables for general applications in construction works subject to reaction to fire requirements.

Many of NIKOMAX copper cables have been certified by 3rd party and comply with EuroClass Dca & Eca
