CNBOP-PIB carries out assessment and verification of the constancy of performance of construction products according to system, which is necessary for the manufacturer to issue a declaration of performance and to mark construction products with CE marking.


CPR repeals Council Directive 89/106 / EEC and lays down harmonized conditions for the marketing and placing on the market of construction products and specifies:

  • basic requirements for buildings,
  • the rules for declaring the performance of construction products,
  • the rules for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance,
  • the obligations of manufacturers, importers and distributors.

Technical details necessary to implement the system of assessment and verification of constancy of performance are included in relevant harmonized standards (called in short hENs). Harmonised standards refer to the intended use of construction products which include and define the methods and criteria for assessing the performance of construction products in relation to their essential characteristics.


The processes are carried out within CNBOP-PIB accreditation granted by the Polish Centre for Accreditation No. AC 063 and European Commission notification no. 1438.
