CPV 148 – Other Non-Metallic Mineral Products

What does CPV 148 cover?

CPV Group 148 (14800000) classifies public contracts for other non-metallic mineral products – a broad range of mineral products encompassing glass, ceramics, cement, lime, gypsum, bricks, tiles and other non-metallic mineral materials. The group covers products manufactured from mineral raw materials through heating, sintering or other physico-chemical processes.

In public procurement, these materials are indispensable for building construction projects, interior fitting and infrastructure works. Cement and lime are procured in large quantities for concrete works and masonry construction; glass for window renewals in public buildings; and ceramic tiles for floor and wall coverings in schools, hospitals and administrative buildings.

Within CPV Division 14, Group 148 serves as a catch-all category for non-metallic mineral products that cannot be assigned to the more specific groups 142–147. It is distinct from CPV 44 (construction products, pipes) in its focus on mineral base materials rather than finished products.

Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and Regulation (EC) No 213/2008 on the revision of the CPV.
