REQUIREMENTS At the European level, the decree of 21 November 2002 on the reaction to fire of construction and planning products now introduces the "euroclasses" of reaction to fire. These are more complete than the old French classification, taking into account the fumes released as well as any projected droplets. This regulation on the reaction to fire of construction products requires performance evaluation according to the new Euroclasses system, once the CE marking of the product has entered into force. Carpets and textile floor coverings are classified as 'construction products' by Council Directive 89/106 of 21 December 1988. Since 2013, the Construction Products Regulation (CPR - no. 305 / 2011) replaces the Construction Products Directive (DPC - 89/106 / EEC). The CPR promotes the placing on the market and free movement of construction products, and meets the basic regulatory requirements of construction works by CE marking. This regulation is applicable by all member states of the Union. It imposes multiple obligations on the part of manufacturers, distributors and importers. For example, providing useful information on the essential characteristics of the product (Declaration of Performance) becomes essential to comply with this new legislation. The CE marking on the product or packaging also becomes proof that the product complies with the Community requirements by manufacturer's commitment. 4 Euroclasseset DOP-01-2021
