This document outlines the European Commission’s approach to standardizing European Technical Assessments (ETAs) for construction products under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). It specifies the uniform implementation of ETAs, detailing the required content for drafting Declarations of Performance (DoPs). Key points include performance information, product identification, and compliance with the essential characteristics of the product. The document emphasizes clear roles between ETAs and EADs while providing a framework for engaging stakeholders in discussions leading to the finalization of the implementing act.
