CPV 4544 – Painting and Glazing Works

What does CPV 4544 cover?

CPV 4544 covers painting, decorating and glazing works carried out on buildings. The painting component includes interior decoration (emulsion paints, dispersion silicate paints, special functional coatings), exterior facade painting and protective coatings, anti-graffiti coatings, fire retardant intumescent paints for steel structures, corrosion protection coatings for metalwork, road markings and sports surface markings. The glazing component covers the supply and installation of glass in windows and doors, structural glazing, glass partitions, overhead glazing and specialist glass types (fire protection glass, anti-burglar glass, solar control glass, acoustic glass).

In the context of public procurement, painting and decorating is the final finishing trade in a construction programme and is typically tendered alongside other finishing works. The selection of paint systems must comply with VOC emission limits and, particularly in schools and healthcare environments, low-emission and antimicrobial coatings are increasingly specified. Glazing works are frequently tendered separately from joinery, particularly when structural glazing or curtain wall systems are involved.

Public contracting authorities include state building authorities, school building authorities, hospital companies, sports facility operators and municipal housing companies. Refurbishment projects for existing buildings are a major source of painting and decorating work, as periodic redecoration of public buildings is a regular maintenance requirement. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and in Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
