Foreword
This document (CEN/TR 13833:2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 330 “Qualification of
construction enterprises”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document produced by CEN/TC 330 is the conclusion of seven years of intensive work summarized as
follows:
 05/1995: Mandate M/084 of the European Commission "Standardization Mandate to CEN and CENELEC for
the Development of European Standards for the Qualification of Construction Enterprises";
 01/1996-09/1999: CEN working document drafting; result: CEN Enquiry document (January 2000, see
Chapter 1);
 01/2000-07/2000: CEN 6 months Enquiry; result: 47% in favour, 53% against, national comments (800, see
Chapter 2);
 08/2000-09/2001: CEN Enquiry comments resolution (15 Editing Committee meetings); results: detailed
comments resolution, principle of an alternate solution (the "profile solution");
 10/2001-09/2002: drafting of this alternate solution; result: revised project (dated June 2002, see Chapter 3),
national comments on this revised project (see Chapter 4), still insufficient consensus.
In September 2002, CEN/TC 330 decided to finalize its work by publishing as CEN Technical Report a document
composed of the CEN Enquiry document (of January 2000), the revised project implementing the alternate
compromise solution (of June 2002), and the national comments on each of these two drafts. (This decision was
then validated by the CEN Technical Board in January 2003.)
It can be noted that several parts reached a sufficient level of consensus: the requirements for the qualification
bodies, the application, assessment, review and appeal procedures, and the administrative and legal requirements
for qualification.
The decision to publish a CEN/TR was taken in order to allow access to an important standardization work.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Report: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
