CPV 441 – Construction Materials and Associated Items

What does CPV 441 cover?

CPV Group 441 covers basic construction materials and associated items procured by public contracting authorities for building, renovation and infrastructure projects. This includes concrete (ready-mixed, precast and in-situ), cement and mortar; clay bricks, calcium silicate blocks and autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks; floor and wall tiles, ceramic cladding and terracotta; roof tiles, slates and flat roof products; plasters, renders and screeds; lime products and hydraulic binders; and associated installation products such as tile adhesives, grouts and joint sealants.

Concrete and masonry materials are among the most fundamental procurement categories in public construction. Road authorities procure concrete for pavements, kerbs and drainage structures. Building authorities procure bricks, blocks and tiles for wall construction, refurbishment and facade cladding. Hospital and school refurbishment projects require large quantities of floor and wall tiles. Roof tile and membrane procurement arises in the context of roof renovation and energy efficiency refurbishment programmes.

CE marking under the EU Construction Products Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 is mandatory for regulated construction products in this group, including cement (EN 197), concrete (EN 206), bricks (EN 771) and tiles (EN 14411). Declaration of Performance (DoP) documents must accompany CE-marked products. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and in Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
