It defines the conditions for placing construction products on the market with the aim of ensuring the safety and protection of building users and the free movement of products within the territory of the European Community.

All products whose declared intended use is congruent with their permanent incorporation in buildings are considered to beconstruction products.

Depending on the intended use of the product, the manufacturer must assess its suitability for use.
