The great variety of national requirements for construction products – and incorporated in the building
regulations - in the Member States of the European Union constituted a real barrier to the creation of a truly
internal market where products and services should be circulating free. Aiming at solving this problem, the
European authorities adopted the Construction Products Directive (CPD) of which the CE marking is the visible
result in practice. The CPD requires that all construction products shall bear the CE marking before being placed
on the market. In order to affix the CE marking to a product, the manufacturer has to perform certain tasks,
defined in the harmonised Euro Standard (EN) or European Technical Approval Guideline (ETAG). The wood
based products which are produced for incorporation in a permanent manner in construction works, including
both buildings and civil engineering works has been contained by CDP. Turkey has adopted the Construction
Products Directive which is one of the European Union New Approach Directives at 2002 but it has not yet came
into force.
