The Construction Products Directive (CPD) is currently under review, reports BSRIA:
A document (pdf 530KB) on the Construction Products Directive ( CPD) is provided by BSRIA to help people understand the thinking that is progressing the revisions of the CPD. It is provided so that members can respond to issues raised in it back to BSRIA who, in turn, can represent these as views of the BSRIA Membership to BSI.
The document is helpful in that the language is generally more accessible than is usually the case and the issues are clearly presented. Although it is probably most helpful to manufacturing members, both contractors and designers should be aware of the increasing emphasis being placed on surveillance and on the relationship between products and completed systems.
It would seem probable that at some point in the future the link between performance expressed in the CPD essential requirements and performance of completed buildings defined in the Energy in Buildings Directive will be recognised.
