Frankfurt, February 2025 – EuroWindoor welcomes the European Commission’s initiative to provide manufacturers with cost-effective access to generic datasets. This will ensure harmonization, streamline environmental sustainability assessments and improve data reliability — particularly benefiting SMEs.
The new Construction Products Regulation (EU) 2024/3110 (CPR) gradually introduces mandatory environmental impact assessments for product families and integrating the environmental data into the Declaration of Performance and Conformity (DoPC) and CE marking. As a result, existing voluntary Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) schemes will be phased out.
Windows and doors are complex products composed of multiple materials in various combinations. Reliable generic datasets help to reduce costs and administrative workload for manufacturers and Notified Bodies during the assessment process.
To support this initiative, EuroWindoor has compiled a preliminary list of essential datasets covering raw materials, energy carriers, transportation, and waste management for windows and doors. We remain actively engaged with policymakers to ensure a balanced approach that aligns industry needs with regulatory feasibility.
📢 EuroWindoor calls on EU Member States to support the European Commission in implementing this initiative, ensuring a practical and efficient transition towards harmonized sustainability assessments in the construction sector.
