The new Construction Products Regulation (CPR — EU 2024/3110) has been in force since January 7, 2025, repealing Regulation 305/2011 over a long transition period running until January 2040. Its most significant innovation: it introduces a construction Digital Product Passport system (Article 75 and related Commission materials) alongside a broader digital product information architecture, with category-specific implementation delivered through delegated acts and harmonized technical specifications on a rolling basis. Italy construction products sector — approximately 80,000 firms, largely SMEs — faces combined pressure from CPR, ESPR, and CSRD supply-chain requests. Deply platform unifies these obligations into one product data record that can support CPR Declaration of Performance (DoP), environmental sustainability information, CE marking data, and ESPR-compatible product records — especially valuable for Made-in-Italy ceramic (Sassuolo), stone, and steel exporters.
What is this regulation?
The new CPR sets harmonized EU rules for placing construction products on the market and maintains the CE marking system while extending its scope to cover digital information, environmental sustainability, and end-of-life data. It establishes a construction-specific digital product information framework designed to align with ESPR DPP architecture, with concrete requirements rolled out through category-specific delegated acts. The regulation substantially expands in scope compared to the old CPR (305/2011).
Who must comply?
Manufacturers, importers, distributors, and online marketplaces placing construction products on the EU market. The new CPR explicitly extends responsibility to importers for Declaration of Performance and DPP/CE compliance — a meaningful change from the old regulation. No size threshold: SMEs producing tiles, insulation, doors, windows, structural steel, and cement additives are all in scope. Transition to new harmonized standards runs until January 8, 2040, giving a long runway — but first delegated acts in 2026–2027 will create near-term obligations for priority categories.
How this impacts your business
If you manufacture or import construction products for the EU market, you will need to provide product information digitally (Declaration of Performance, environmental sustainability data, safety and traceability info) once a harmonized technical specification covers your category. The regulation signals expanded environmental sustainability data requirements expected for relevant categories — a meaningful shift for cement, steel, and insulation manufacturers once the corresponding delegated acts are adopted. Italian ceramic tile producers exporting to Germany, France, and Benelux can build DPP readiness ahead of most competitors, leveraging Sassuolo district strong export orientation.
How Deply helps
Deply provides construction product manufacturers with a single product data record designed to support both CPR and ESPR data requirements as delegated acts roll out, plus digital DoP workflows. Carbon footprint calculation, supplier traceability for raw materials (aggregates, clinker, steel alloys), and end-of-life data flow into one product record. For ceramic and stone exporters, DPP QR codes can be applied to packaging, pallets, or product surfaces — giving downstream customers immediate digital access to compliance data.
