Regulation (EU) 2024/3110

Regulation (EU) 2024/3110 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2024 laying down harmonised rules for the marketing of construction products and repealing Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 (Text with EEA relevance)

Regulation (EU) 2024/3110 is the new European framework for construction products, including timber, that replaces Regulation (EU) No 305/2011. It came into force on 7 January 2025.

🌍 Key Changes for Timber Products

Here’s how it affects timber manufacturers and distributors:

🔧 Harmonized Performance Rules

• Timber products must declare essential characteristics (e.g. strength class, fire resistance, durability) using harmonized standards like EN 14081-1 for structural timber.

• The Declaration of Performance (DoP) remains mandatory, but now must be machine-readable and compatible with digital systems.

📦 Digital Product Passport

• A Digital Product Passport (DPP) is introduced (Articles 75–79), requiring timber products to include:

  • Environmental performance data

  • Lifecycle information

  • Packaging sustainability

• This supports traceability and circular economy goals.

🛡️ Sustainability & Safety

• A new System 3+ for Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) is added, focusing on environmental sustainability.

• Applies to the entire lifecycle, including packaging and disposal.

🧾 CE Marking Rules

• Only CE marking is allowed—no additional national or private marks may be used in the DoP or on the product.
