Overview

CEN/TR 17068:2017 is a technical report developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) that provides comprehensive guidance on CE marking and the Declaration of Performance (DoP) specifically for sealants used in non-structural joints within buildings and pedestrian walkways. This standard targets manufacturers, suppliers, and regulatory bodies involved in the construction sector to facilitate compliance with the Construction Products Regulation (CPR, EU No. 305/2011).

Its primary focus is on helping organizations correctly prepare documentation and labelling that satisfy European regulatory requirements, ensuring the free movement of sealant products within the European Economic Area (EEA). By following this guidance, businesses can enhance product marketability and guarantee consistent performance in internal and external building joints.

Key Topics

• Guidance for CE Marking
  The report explains the correct procedure to affix CE marks on sealant products or their accompanying documentation. It includes detailed examples demonstrating how to display all mandatory information such as the manufacturer’s details, notified body identification, applicable harmonized standards (e.g., EN 15651-1:2017), and relevant performance classes (e.g., reaction to fire Class E).

• Declaration of Performance (DoP) Examples
  Clear templates for drafting a DoP are provided. These include necessary product identification data, intended uses, assessment and verification systems, and performance characteristics like water and air tightness, tensile properties, and durability relevant to non-structural sealants.

• Additional Customer Information
  For cases where product packaging is too small to carry full CE marking information, guidance is presented on creating a concise additional customer information label to accompany the sealant, ensuring regulatory compliance without compromising packaging design.

• Regulatory Context and Compliance
  The document highlights key EU regulations and delegated acts relevant to CE marking and DoP, ensuring awareness of legal frameworks that govern the marketing and use of sealants in construction joints.

Applications

• Building Construction
  Suitable for sealants applied in non-structural joints of internal and external architectural elements, including façade elements and pedestrian walkway joints.

• Manufacturing and Quality Assurance
  Assists manufacturers in documenting product performance and regulatory compliance, streamlining product certification and enhancing customer confidence.

• Construction Product Marketing
  Supports suppliers and distributors in providing legally compliant CE marking and declarations, simplifying market access across Europe.

• SMEs Support
  Offers practical examples tailored to smaller enterprises, reducing barriers to regulatory compliance and facilitating entry to the EU construction materials market.

Related Standards

• EN 15651 (all parts)
  Specifies requirements and test methods for sealants used in non-structural joints in buildings and pedestrian walkways, including facade elements and sanitary areas.

• Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 (CPR)
  Establishes harmonized conditions for marketing construction products within the EU, including the requirement for CE marking.

• Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 157/2014
  Details conditions for making the Declaration of Performance available on websites, supporting transparent access to product information.

• Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 574/2014
  Provides amendments on the model for drawing up Declarations of Performance for construction products.

---

By adhering to the guidelines of CEN/TR 17068:2017, stakeholders can ensure that non-structural sealants for building joints meet rigorous European quality and safety standards, improving customer trust and regulatory compliance. This report is an essential reference for anyone involved in manufacturing, testing, labeling, or trading sealant products within the EU construction sector.

Introduction
In 2015, as it was in line with the provisions in Subclause 11.4 of the CEN-CENELEC Internal
Regulations, BT/TCMG on behalf of BT decides that Technical Committees preparing hENs in support of
Regulation EU 305/211 (CPR - Construction Products Regulation) could develop Technical Reports to
include examples of CE marking and Declaration of Performance (DoP).
These examples are especially useful for SMEs.
This Technical Report does not supersede the provisions of the CPR.
