Certification & Legislation
CE Marking & DoP (Declaration of Performance)
The CE mark is a legal declaration by a manufacturer that a product complies with one or more European single market directives or regulations. As a responsible distributor of door hardware products, Relcross Ltd is obliged to ensure that hardware supplied for use on fire and escape route doors is compliant.
The principal measure of relevance to doors and hardware is the:
Construction Products Regulation 2011 (CPR).
The CPR covers all construction products, but only if the product in question is covered by a 'harmonized' European standard. This includes currently external hinged door sets, industrial doors, garage doors and a number of hardware items intended for fire and emergency escape doors. From July 2013, manufacturers must apply the CE mark and issue a Declaration of Performance for each product. Certain standards are still to be published, including the standard for fire-resisting doors and CE marking of these products will start later.
In summary, any relevant product manufactured from 1st July 2013, which falls within the scope of a harmonized EN standard, must be CE marked.
