Recital 5
(5) A number of sectorial Union legal acts lay down harmonised rules regarding the design, manufacture, placing on the market and, as applicable, conformity assessment of certain products. Such legal acts include Regulations (EU) No 305/2011 (5), (EU) 2016/424 (6), (EU) 2016/425 (7), (EU) 2016/426 (8) and (EU) 2023/1230 (9) of the European Parliament and of the Council (the ‘amended Regulations’). Regulations (EU) 2016/424, (EU) 2016/425, (EU) 2016/426 and (EU) 2023/1230 are based on the principles of the new approach to technical harmonisation. Moreover, those Regulations are also aligned to the reference provisions laid down by Decision No 768/2008/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (10). Given the specificity of construction products and the particular focus of the system for their assessment, the procedures for the conformity assessment provided for in Decision No 768/2008/EC, and the modules set out therein, are not appropriate. Therefore, Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 lays down specific methods for the assessment and verification of constancy of performance in relation to the essential characteristics of construction products.
