Summary/Abstract: Construction sector was faced with major challenges in recent decades in the context of the fast development of technology companies supported by increasing scientific knowledge. Government Decision no. 622/2004 establishing the conditions for the marketing of construction products, republished, with further amendments, it was national act which was transposed EU Council Directive no. 89/106/EEC. The continued concern for improving the European regulatory framework for construction was included in the European Commission's program to improve and simplify legislation on the free movement of goods, and the result of this concern was Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of March 9, 2011 laying down harmonized conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Directive No. 89/106/EEC. Changes to the new regulation, with an major impact on the construction products market are: introducing the fundamental requirement on the sustainable use of natural resources and the replacement of the declaration of conformity with the declaration of performance for products covered by harmonized technical specifications. The declaration of performance contains the essential characteristics of the product for which the relevant performance is declared, as well as the information on the dangerous substances, according to the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the European Council (EC) no. 1907/2006 on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), with further amendments.
