M/BC/CEN/92/27 - CPD: Disposal of solid waste
CPD: Disposal of solid waste
Mandate M/BC/CEN/92/27 concerns the standardisation of the disposal of solid waste under the Construction Products Directive (CPD). It tasks the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), specifically technical committee CEN/TC 227, with developing standards related to solid waste disposal methods and practices. The mandate aims to ensure harmonised rules and consistent approaches across member states for the disposal of solid waste in line with CPD requirements. The established standards are intended to support regulatory compliance, environmental protection, and the safe handling of waste materials in construction and related sectors.
Purpose
The mandate M/BC/CEN/92/27 focuses on the standardisation related to the disposal of solid waste. Its objective is to support the Construction Products Directive (CPD) by developing standards that ensure safe, effective, and environmentally sound disposal methods for solid waste generated within the construction sector.
Standardisation request
This mandate requests the European standardisation bodies to prepare and establish a comprehensive set of standards addressing the disposal of solid waste. These standards should cover the technical aspects, operational procedures, and environmental requirements for managing solid waste in compliance with the CPD framework.
Expected deliverables
- Harmonised European standards for the disposal of solid waste stemming from construction activities.
- Technical specifications and guidelines to support compliance with safety and environmental regulations.
- Documentation facilitating consistent application across member states, enhancing the quality and sustainability of waste disposal practices.
Context
Solid waste disposal is a critical component in sustainable construction and environmental protection within the EU. The Construction Products Directive regulates construction materials, and effective disposal of waste contributes to the environmental objectives of the Directive. This mandate, referenced by CEN/TC 227 143/2002, ensures that standardisation efforts are coordinated to support regulatory frameworks and industry best practices for solid waste management.
This mandate covers the standardisation work related to the disposal of solid waste. It focuses on products, processes, and services involved in managing, treating, and disposing of solid waste materials. The scope includes technical specifications, quality criteria, and safety requirements for waste disposal to support environmental protection and public health within the solid waste sector.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/BC/CEN/92/27 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "CPD: Disposal of solid waste". CPD: Disposal of solid waste There are 0 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
