The Construction Products Regulation (2011) replaces the Construction Products Directive (1998). The CPR (2011) requires many products and items used in construction to be CE marked.

This information sheet concludes that CE marking is not required for items used as temporary works:

• provided they are removed from the permanent works as a part of the construction process;

• • they play no part in the permanent works functions;
• • nor can their presence have an effect on the performance of the permanent works in regard to one of the seven 'Basic Requirements for Construction Works'.
