The construction and glazing industries will be looking to glass manufacturers and suppliers to ensure there are no interruptions or delays to the CE marking of their products, according to an independent testing specialist. <br><br>Glass Technology Services (GTS) – reportedly one of only a few specialised providers to hold Notified Testing Laboratory status for CE Marking of glass construction products – said the industry was prepared for the impact of the new Construction Products Regulation (CPR, Regulation (EU) 305/2011) which became compulsory on July 1. <br><br>GTS technical director Dr Nick Kirk said: “We have been working with glass and glazing system manufacturers across the supply chain to ensure that there are no interruptions or delays to the certification of their products. “The CPR has now fully replaced the Construction Products Directive (CPD, Council Directive 89/106/EEC) and means that glass used in construction or road markings within the European Economic Area, must now be performance assessed (initial type tested) by a legally and technically independent notified testing laboratory.” <br><br><a href="http://www.glass-ts.com">www.glass-ts.com</a>
