Frankfurt, February 2025 – EuroWindoor submitted extensive comments on the revised draft Annexes of the Standardisation Request for windows and doors. The revised draft spans eight Annexes over 70 pages and aims to define the standardisation framework for the product family Doors, Windows, Shutters, Gates and related Building Hardware under the new Construction Products Regulation (EU) 2024/3110 (CPR).
The length of the draft and its level of detail underline the complexity of implementing the new CPR requirements for windows and doors. EuroWindoor’s comments reflect the major challenges industry stakeholders face in achieving workable and effective standards for these highly varied and technologically advanced products. Balancing technical precision with feasible implementation remains the key.
EuroWindoor emphasises that revising and harmonising these documents is a time-consuming process which demands close collaboration among all involved parties. EuroWindoor therefore calls on the European Commission and the Member States to develop practicable solutions and avoid unnecessarily burdensome administrative requirements in the final standardisation request. Streamlining procedures and ensuring clear guidance will be essential to foster innovation and maintain the competitiveness of European manufacturers in the global market.
EuroWindoor remains committed to supporting the development of clear, consistent and industry-relevant standards. By sharing its in-depth expertise, EuroWindoor seeks to contribute to a balanced approach that upholds safety, quality and performance while minimising excessive bureaucracy.
