Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 574/2014
of 21 February 2014
amending Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the model to be used for drawing up a declaration of performance on construction products
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 laying down harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC(1), and in particular Article 60(e) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 obliges manufacturers of construction products to draw up a declaration of performance when a construction product that is covered by a harmonised standard or conforms to a European Technical Assessment issued for that product is placed on the market. According to Article 6(4) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011, that declaration should be drawn up using the model set out in Annex III to that Regulation.
(2) In accordance with Article 60(e) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011, the Commission is delegated the task of adapting Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 in response to technical progress.
(3) The model set out in Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 should be adapted, in order to respond to technological progress, to allow the flexibility required by different kinds of construction products and manufacturers as well as to simplify the declaration of performance.
(4) Furthermore, practical experience with the implementation of Annex III shows that manufacturers would need further instructions for drawing up declarations of performance on construction products in line with applicable legislation. Providing such instructions would also ensure a harmonised and correct application of Annex III.
(5) The manufacturers should be allowed some flexibility for drawing up declarations of performance as long as they provide, in a clear and coherent manner, the essential information required by Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.
(6) In order to unequivocally identify the product covered by a declaration of performance in relation with its performance levels or classes, manufacturers should link every single product to the respective product-type and to a given set of performance levels or classes by the unique identification code referred to in Article 6(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.
(7) The purpose of Article 11(4) of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 is to enable the identification and the traceability of any single construction product by the indication, by the manufacturers, of a type, batch or serial number. This purpose is not served by a declaration of performance, which should be subsequently used for all products corresponding to the product-type defined in it. Therefore, the information required by Article 11(4) should not be required to be contained in the declaration of performance.
(8) When the notified bodies are properly identified, the listing of all certificates, test, calculation or assessment reports issued might become extensive and burdensome but does not bring about added value for the users of the products covered by a declaration of performance. The manufacturers should thus not be obliged to include these listings in their declarations of performance.
(9) In order to enhance the efficiency and competitiveness of the European construction sector as a whole, manufacturers providing declarations of performance wishing to benefit from the simplification and instructions for the purposes of facilitating the provision of such declarations should be able to do so as soon as possible,
