On 16 April 2026, the European Commission (DG GROW H.1) participated in the CEN/TC 33 plenary meeting to discuss the draft standardization request for windows, doors and related products under the Construction Products Regulation (EU) 2024/3110 (CPR). The Commission presented its positions on key issues raised in CEN/TC 33’s comments and provided clarifications on the planned timeline, regulatory requirements and implementation approach.
The Commission emphasized that the positions presented were provisional and subject to further discussion and expressly invited stakeholders to provide feedback on points where fundamental concerns remain. The importance of dialogue was underlined to ensure the standardization request would be both legally compliant and practically workable.
EuroWindoor welcomes this constructive approach and the opportunity for continued engagement. This document addresses several critical points discussed during the meeting, highlighting specific risks and practical challenges foreseen in the implementation of certain proposals. Alternative approaches are suggested that would maintain legal compliance under the CPR whilst ensuring workability for manufacturers across the European market.
