STANDARDS FOR products and services are at the heart of the success of the fire safety industry. Euralarm members need a fast and flexible system for setting standards, because not only is it the best way to serve the interests of customers, the industry and society, but it is also a basic requirement for a safe and secure society. Our standardisation system helps us to continue to deliver the highest levels of safety and security to citizens. That said, according to our members, in the context of the competitiveness of the electronic fire safety industry, the impact of the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) on standardisation has unfortunately not met expectations.This industry along with many others depends on standardised product performance requirements and standardised behaviour, which is at odds with the interpretation of the CPR following the European Court of Justice judgment (CJEU) on the James Elliot case (explained further on).
