Why should you use PD CEN/TR 17221- Sanitary appliances?
Harmonized standards for Sanitary Appliances have been available for some time. CE marking of construction products started with the Construction Products Directive (CPD) 89/106 EC. This directive was replaced by 305/2011 EC “Construction Products Regulation” (CPR) in July 2013. The introduction of the CPR legislation implied a new legal framework mandating CE marking for compliant products and the supply of Declaration of Performance (DoP) documents when placing compliant products on the market.
PD CEN/TR 17221 has the aim to show the current CPR requirements and examples for DoP and CE marking procedures of sanitary appliances. This guide in PD CEN/TR 17221 aims to help understand the actual legal requirements in terms of the Declaration of Performance and CE marking that need to be used for sanitary appliances.
