Construction products regulation CPR – Regulation(EU) No 305/2011
Issue: 1090-x standard set (1090-1 Execution of steel structures and aluminium structures – Part 1: Requirements for conformity assessment of structural components – harmonized, 1090-2,1090-3,1090-4,1090-5: Technical requirements- non harmonized)
CAB is NB and performs certification according to EN 1090-1 and at the same time e.g. standard EN 1090-2 is in use too and NB has to take it in consideration an assess producer also according that specific requirements. What would be good practice in describing the CAB´s scope of accreditation? Up to now, we use to describe non-harmonized scope with EN 1090-2. In the meantime, we received information that EN 1090-2 is not specification appropriate for AVCP 2+ or any AVCP system at all. So considering that information, we are interested is there any NAB with similar experience to share and what would be good practice describing the CAB/NB scope of accreditation in that case?

It is not possible to certify under a non-harmonized standard, as it is not containing ZA Annex (annex including all product characteristics with a template of the CE label).
AB has accredited only 3 NoBos (among the 22 accredited for CPR) having EN 1090-1 in their scope, they have other standards in their scope but they’re all harmonized standards.
None is having EN 1090-2 as it is not a harmonized standard.
Nevertheless EN1090-2 can be integrated in other certification schemes including other CE ones.
The sample scope definition of them is given below.
