Did you know that waste and pollution are largely determined by the way we design things?
Waste and pollution are not accidents, but consequence of decisions made at design stage, where about 80% of the environmental impacts are determined. Likewise, the adverse footprint on the planet left due to the extraction of resources only happens because of the way we make and consume products and materials.
This webinar intends to explain what measures CEN and CENELEC have put in place in order to timely respond to the new provisions of the EU Reg. 2022/2480 amending EU Reg. 1025/2012, published on 19 December 2022 in the OJEU. The new regulation shall be applied as of 9 July 2023.
Main focus will be on the changes in CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations Part 2 and the impact for CEN & CENELEC Technical Boards and Technical bodies. An overview of the main modifications in the voting tools will be provided as well.
This webinar will provide participants with the latest developments regarding the preparation of harmonized standards and standardization requests under the Construction Products Regulation. It will include:
• Routes for preparation of hENs under the CPR: Mandates, CPR Acquis and fast-track
• Standardization request development process
• Tools to support Technical Committees to develop harmonized standards under CPR
The common checklist is a basis for ESOs and their Technical Bodies for self-assessment of standards under a standardization request (SReq) to ensure fulfilment of a SReq, EU legislation requirements and other possible European Commission (EC) criteria. This new common checklist will replace the actual Checklist for harmonized standards (hENs). The goal of this webinar is to present this new common checklist and describe the main differences with the previous one.
