Frequently asked questions

FAQ

What is the difference between the Ü mark and the CE mark?

The CE mark on a construction product indicates that the product complies with the Construction Products Regulation and other European requirements, allowing it to be placed on the market in the European Economic Area. The Ü mark signifies a construction product that meets additional requirements specific to Germany and can be used in construction within Germany. However, it is foreseeable that the Ü mark will disappear since the European Court of Justice already urged the German legislature in 2014 to align the requirements.

How do I, as a manufacturer (or distributor), obtain the CE marking for my construction product?

You apply the CE marking to your construction product after verifying and ensuring that your product complies with all applicable European requirements for your specific product (especially the Construction Products Regulation EU 305/2011). In the first step, you must identify the relevant directives, regulations, and standards, and then derive the requirements from them. Next, you check the characteristics of your product against these requirements. easyCE can assist you with this process.

How do I get a Declaration of Performance for my construction product?

After conducting the conformity assessment procedure for your construction product and ensuring that your product complies with all relevant European requirements, you can issue the Declaration of Performance. With the Declaration of Performance, as the manufacturer or distributor, you assume responsibility for the declared performance. easyCE is ready to assist you in creating the Declaration of Performance securely and in compliance with the applicable regulations.

Where can I look up the requirements for construction products?

In the first step, you should study the Construction Products Regulation (EU) 305/2011 to understand the basic requirements. Subsequently, you should research the standards that apply to your construction product. This is usually time-consuming and expensive, as standards are not freely available but must be purchased. The easyCE experts are very knowledgeable about the landscape of standards and can assist you in keeping your costs within a reasonable range.
