EPH, TFI and BGFC intend to cooperate in System 3+ of the new CPR

This regulation contains a whole series of innovations, with a focus on the promotion of more sustainable construction products. In this regard, the Entwicklungs- und Prüflabor Holz-technologie GmbH (EPH) and its co-operation partners TFI Aachen GmbH (TFI) and the Chinese Beijing Green Forest Certification Co. Ltd (BGFC) have declared their intention to intensify and expand their co-operation in a letter of intent. The cooperation will focus on the new System 3+ assessment system of the EU CPR, which obliges manufacturers of construction products to declare environmental indicators in accordance with EN 15804 for their products following initial validation by a notified body. The TFI is to act as a notified body in accordance with System 3+, with BGFC and EPH acting as auditing bodies. By working together, the cooperation partners hope to utilise synergy effects for existing and new customers who test and certify their products in accordance with the previous systems 1, 2+ and 3 at TFI/EPH. To date, the partners have cooperated very successfully within the framework of the TÜV PROFiCERT-product Interi-or certification programme, which provides a good basis for the extended cooperation.
