Until new harmonised technical specifications are developed and adopted - based on a forthcoming standardisation request - the existing harmonized standards will continue to apply. This means that manufacturers will continue operating under the current system until the necessary updates are made over the coming years, with active involvement from Euralarm and its members.

Ambitious objectives

The revised CPR seeks to improve the previous regulation (EU 305/2011) by addressing practical challenges while introducing new objectives such as climate neutrality and digitalisation.

In the future, key changes will include a joint Declaration of Performance and Conformity, incorporating product compliance, environmental impact, and consumer safety criteria. The introduction of a Digital Product Passport, which will enhance transparency and digitalization while an Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) will become mandatory. The EPD will quantify environmental impact of a product from production to raw material recovery.

In an official statement on the new regulations, Euralarm assures it members that it remains committed to supporting them through this transition and ensuring a smooth adaptation to the new regulatory landscape.
