M/616 - SMP (CPR-2011)

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION of 2.10.2025 on a standardisation request to the European Committee for Standardisation as regards structural metallic products, ancillaries and double skin metal faced insulating panels in support of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council

The European Commission issued Mandate M/616 to the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) to develop standards for structural metallic products, ancillaries, and double skin metal-faced insulating panels. This standardisation request supports the implementation of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and Council, commonly known as the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). The mandate aims to ensure harmonised technical specifications that enhance product safety, reliability, and market access across the EU. The Commission’s Implementing Decision dated 2 October 2025 addresses the approval status of this standardisation request based on resolution CEN/BT C202/2025.

Purpose

This mandate concerns the standardisation of structural metallic products, ancillaries, and double skin metal faced insulating panels. It supports the implementation of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011, which sets harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products within the European Union.

Standardisation request

The European Commission requests the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) to develop or revise standards related to:

  • Structural metallic products
  • Ancillary components used with these products
  • Double skin metal faced insulating panels

These standards aim to ensure consistency and reliability in the performance and safety of these construction materials across the EU market.

Expected deliverables

Deliverables will likely include:

  • Harmonised European standards specifying requirements, test methods, and performance criteria for the listed products and components
  • Updated documentation to align with Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 (the Construction Products Regulation, CPR)
  • Guidance to facilitate the application and conformity assessment of these products within the regulatory framework

The specific deliverables will be developed following the standardisation request and in accordance with the Commission Implementing Decision referenced.

Context

The mandate (M/616) issued through the Commission Implementing Decision dated 2 October 2025, reflects ongoing efforts to support the Construction Products Regulation (EU) No 305/2011. This regulation aims to improve the internal market for construction products by harmonising technical specifications and ensuring reliable fitness for use. The mandate was approved under resolution CEN/BT C202/2025. Standardisation in metallic structural products and insulating panels is critical to maintaining product safety, performance, and market acceptance across EU member states.

This mandate covers standardisation work related to structural metallic products, ancillary components, and double skin metal-faced insulating panels, supporting Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 concerning construction products in the European Union.

Frequently Asked Questions

A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.

M/616 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION of 2.10.2025 on a standardisation request to the European Committee for Standardisation as regards structural metallic products, ancillaries and double skin metal faced insulating panels in support of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council". COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION of 2.10.2025 on a standardisation request to the European Committee for Standardisation as regards structural metallic products, ancillaries and double skin metal faced insulating panels in support of Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council There are 6 standards developed under this mandate.

Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
