Market surveillance of fabricated concrete elements and other construction products

The single market of the European Union requires that construction products must be CE labelled according to applicable harmonised EN standards and according to the regulations that apply in the country where the construction products are to be used.

To ensure that the single market functions as intended in the field of construction products, the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority carries out an ongoing market surveillance of construction products, please refer to http://www.ebst.dk/byggevareinfo.dk.

During the autumn of 2009, the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority implemented the market surveillance of concrete elements, roofing felt, and water taps, and in 2010, market surveillance of wood boards has just begun.

Danish Technological Institute has knowledge and experience of the requirements imposed upon all the construction products subject to the EU Construction Products Directive. Danish Technological Institute participates in national and international standardization work in the field of construction products and has thus a detailed knowledge of the harmonised standards in force in this field.
