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

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.
