What is CE Marking for Construction Testing at Element

CE marking for construction is a mandatory conformity assessment under the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR), ensuring free trade within the European Economic Area. It confirms a product meets harmonized technical standards. At Element we have EU notified body status through Element Materials Technology Rotterdam B.V. (ERO). In partnership with our group company, Construction specialists BM TRADA, we facilitate CE certification for construction products, ensuring compliance with harmonized European Standards (hENs) and European Technical Assessments (ETAs). From doorsets and structural steel to wood-based panels, our services include rigorous testing, Factory Production Control (FPC) assessments, and certification.
