Summary: | Development countries should create an environment for the successful integration of their economy into the European and international processes, and it is only possible with the harmonization of national legislation with the EU, and acceptance of European standards as national. Why should the manufacturers use the harmonized standards if their application is voluntary? The existence of unequal treatment on the market of construction products in the EU countries and the need of implementation of the equal treatment of the Declaration of performance - DoP and the principle of the system of Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance (AVCP) of the construction products, were the basic reasons for adopting the new Regulation. The authors would like to point, that the use of the harmonized standards, and referring to them, is the easiest and simplest method to guarantee product conformity with the basic requests of the relevant directive/regulative.
