Schedule 11: Construction products regulations Paragraphs 3 - 9 - Construction products with designated standards or technical assessments Proposed use of this power
This power can be used to replace the existing EU based regime, and design it to meet the demands of the UK market. The type of requirements which can be imposed include, amongst other things, the requirement for a declaration of performance; the provision of information, including information about risk; a requirement for the monitoring, assessment and verification of product performance; the taking of corrective action; recording and investigating complaints; notification of risks to relevant authorities and co-operation with relevant authorities.
	The power will allow the imposition of requirements in relation to any statements or other claims made in advertising or marketing materials about the performance of products. This will bring misleading construction product performance claims into the construction products regulatory regime. The regulations will contain details of any prohibition against making false statements about performance.
