CPR + EN 12845 harmonisation

CE marking under CPR (305/2011) covers sprinklers, valves and pipes via harmonised standards (hENs). EN 12845 is the harmonised design standard; national overlays add insurance and AHJ requirements.

Toepassingsgebied

How the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR) and EN 12845 interact across member states.

  • All sprinkler component types covered by hENs require CE mark for placement on the EU market.
  • Free movement principle but national insurance/AHJ regimes still apply.

Belangrijke documenten

  • Regulation (EU) 305/2011 (CPR)Construction Products Regulation
  • EN 12259-1 to -14Components — listed under CPR Annex ZA
  • EN 12845Design standard
  • EN 16925Residential sprinkler

Certificeringsroute

  1. Use CE-marked components with valid DoP (Declaration of Performance)
  2. Design per EN 12845 (or national equivalent: PN-EN, BS EN, NEN-EN, ÖNORM EN, etc.)
  3. Apply national overlay (LPC, VdS, APSAD, CCV, etc.)
  4. Local AHJ acceptance

Belangrijke regels

  • CE alone does NOT satisfy national approval — most member states layer VdS, APSAD, LPCB, BOSEC, etc. on top.
  • Brexit: UKCA mark required for GB (England/Wales/Scotland); CE accepted indefinitely under current government policy.

Bevoegde instantie
