CE Certification for Wooden Structural Fasteners

Exporting wooden structural fasteners to the EU requires obtaining CE certification under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). This certification falls under the scope of CPR Category 3 (System 3). Manufacturers must conduct initial type testing at accredited laboratories while implementing factory production control. Initial type testing verifies compliance with EN 14592:2008 standards.

Chapter 6 of this standard details compliance requirements for specific products. It also specifies sampling requirements for different products and detailed criteria for initial type testing. Manufacturers must maintain relevant documentation and uphold a quality management system to ensure exported products meet required functional properties.

CE Certification Standards for Wood Fasteners:

EN standards: EN14592: 2008 - Timber structures - Dowel-type fasteners

European Standard: EN14592: 2008 - Timber structure fasteners

Certification Overview: Timber structure fasteners are primarily used in wooden structural buildings. Product categories mainly include nails, staples, screws, dowels, nuts, and bolts.

The standard EN14592: 2008 for timber fasteners was published on the official EU website on July 4, 2009, and became effective on August 1, 2009. Any dowel-type fasteners for timber structures sold or used within the EU must comply with this standard and undergo testing and certification by an EU-recognized certification body.
