European Union
The EU construction products framework is transitioning from Regulation 305/2011 to Regulation 2024/3110. Obligations depend on the applicable harmonised technical specification or assessment and on the product and intended use. National building rules still govern use and installation. Confirm the applicable standard, declaration and assessment route with the importer and relevant authority. European Commission: CPR overview.
Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Great Britain recognises CE marking for construction products under the applicable arrangements, and UKCA can also be used where the relevant conditions are satisfied. Northern Ireland has different rules; confirm the correct requirements for the specific product and assessment body. Great Britain guidance; Northern Ireland guidance.
United States
Before import, work with the importer or customs broker to identify classification, country-of-origin marking and any agency requirements. Building and installation requirements depend on the state and local authority and the project. U.S. Customs and Border Protection: requirements for specific goods.
Questions for every destination
- What is the exact product, material, intended use and HS classification?
- Which product standards and local installation rules apply?
- Who is the importer, and what labels, test reports or declarations are required?
- Are certificates current and applicable to the exact model and system?
This guide is a starting point, not a claim that any HJZ product holds a particular certification. Requirements change; confirm the current rules for the destination and product with the relevant authority and qualified advisers before ordering or shipping.
