A new guidance document explaining the requirements of the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) for timber and wood-based products has been launched by Timber Development UK (TDUK). This latest resource for the timber sector clarifies how manufacturers, importers and distributors can ensure they remain compliant when placing timber products on the UK construction market. The Construction Products Regulation, first introduced in 2013, sets legal responsibilities for anyone supplying construction materials covered by a designated or harmonised standard. The new TDUK guide outlines what these obligations mean for timber businesses and how to meet them, including guidance on CE and UKCA marking, Declarations of Performance, and the specific product standards that apply across the wood sector – from structural timber and panels to glulam, LVL, and timber cladding. …The publication is available to download from the TDUK website.
