What the notification says

The notified draft Royal Decree elaborates on aspects of Regulation (EU) 2024/3110 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 27 November 2024, laying down harmonised rules for the marketing of construction products and repealing Regulation (EU) No 305/2011. These aspects include the treatment of construction products in the building codes and the system of penalties. In addition, the notified draft Royal Decree also seeks to update national regulations for certain products to which European regulations do not apply.
