Overview

prEN 18357 specifies the methodology, general requirements, and criteria for developing data templates for the digital declaration of performance and conformity (DoPC) of construction products. Published by CEN, this standard aims to unify how manufacturers and other stakeholders create, model, and issue machine-readable DoPCs, promoting interoperability across the construction sector. prEN 18357 integrates structures from EN ISO 23387 and leverages aligned standards to facilitate a consistent approach for digitalization, especially in the context of harmonized technical specifications (hTS) and European assessment documents (EAD).

Key Topics

• Methodology for Data Templates: prEN 18357 outlines the process for defining and modeling DoPC data templates, ensuring they are suitable for digital processing and interoperability.
• Standardized Data Structure: The standard defines a detailed structure for DoPC, including general information, product description, declared performances, sustainability characteristics, certification details, and digital signatures.
• Integration with BIM and Product Passports: This standard ensures that data templates are compatible with Building Information Modelling (BIM) and are ready for Digital Product Passport (DPP) integration as required under Regulation (EU) 2024/3110.
• Alignment with Key Standards: prEN 18357 uses concepts and structures from EN ISO 12006-3 (construction asset information frameworks), EN ISO 23386/23387 (data dictionaries and templates), FprEN 18223 (digital product passport interoperability), and others.
• Support for Harmonized Technical Specifications: Annex A offers practical guidance for developing data templates for hTS and EAD, supporting technical committees and industry stakeholders.

Applications

The implementation of prEN 18357 offers tangible practical value for the construction products industry in several ways:

• Digitalization of Product Compliance: By defining a standardized approach to DoPC templates, prEN 18357 enables manufacturers to create digital, machine-readable declarations, supporting compliance with EU regulation and market requirements.
• Facilitating BIM Integration: The standard ensures that data about construction products is structured for seamless ingestion into BIM tools, driving more effective digital workflows, design, and construction management.
• Enhanced Transparency and Traceability: Using unique identifiers and standardized data points, DoPCs become more accessible, verifiable, and traceable throughout the product life cycle, from manufacturing to installation and decommissioning.
• Streamlining Regulatory Processes: Harmonized data structures mean authorities, notified bodies, and technical assessment bodies can more easily review and process conformity declarations and related technical documentation.
• Environmental and Sustainability Data: The approach includes digitized environmental information aligned with life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies, making environmental product declarations (EPDs) more accessible and usable.
• Support for Product Passports: prEN 18357 aligns with digital product passport initiatives, supporting the move towards greater circularity and data-driven product management in the construction sector.

Related Standards

To ensure interoperability and broad applicability, prEN 18357 references and builds upon several foundational standards, including:

• EN ISO 12006-3: Framework for object-oriented information on construction assets.
• EN ISO 23386/23387: Standards for data dictionaries and template development in BIM environments.
• FprEN 18223: Digital Product Passport - System interoperability.
• EN ISO 22057: BIM-compatible data structures for life cycle assessment.
• EN 15804: Sustainability of construction works - Environmental product declarations.
• EN ISO 7817-1, EN 17549-2, EN 17632-1: BIM and semantic information modeling standards.

By aligning with these standards, prEN 18357 provides a future-ready digital foundation for the declaration of performance and conformity, supporting the construction industry’s digital transformation.

This document (prEN 18357:2026) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 442 "Building
Information Modelling (BIM)", the secretariat of which is held by Standards Norway.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
Introduction
Manufacturers of construction products covered by the European Regulation 2024/3110[1] on the
marketing of construction products (CPR [1]) or economic operators who places such products on the
market will issue a digital copy of the declaration of performance and conformity (DoPC).
Whereas 38 of Regulation (EU) 2024/3110[1] states "an important prerequisite for machine-readable
declarations is a standardized IT format, which is required for each harmonized technical specificätion".
To ensure interoperability between product families, common criteria and requirements will be
provided to product TCs. This document intends to define such criteria and requirements.
This document introduces a methodology, independent of data serialization syntax (e.g. XML or JSON),
based on the following standards:
— EN ISO 12006-3:2022 [2]: provides a framework for object-oriented information related to
construction assets.
— EN ISO 23386:2020 [3]: explains how to establish, maintain and distribute data dictionaries.
— EN ISO 23387:2025 [4]: introduce new concepts on development and management of data
dictionaries and data templates.
— FprEN 18223:2026 [5]: explains how to structure contents of digital product passports.
This document enables compatibility with BIM standards developed by CEN/TC 442 and ISO/TC
59/SC 13. These standards include:
— EN ISO 16739-1 [6]Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) for data sharing in the construction and facility
management industries - Part 1: Data schema.
— EN 17549-2:2023 [7] Building information modelling – Information structure based on EN ISO
16739-1 to exchange data - Part 2: Configurable construction objects and requirements.
— EN 17632-1:2022 [8] Building information modelling (BIM) - Semantic modelling and linking (SML)
- Part 1: Generic modelling patterns.
— EN ISO 7817-1:2024 [9] Building information modelling — Level of information need Part 1: Concepts
and principles.
This document also considers the project in CEN/TC 442 WG 7 Building information modelling -
Methodology to enable design and product standards to support digitalization through using standards
developed by CEN/TC 442 . This document considers the Smart CE concept defined in CWA 17316:2018
[10] and UNE 41316:2020 [11]. Additional examples for the proposed methodology will be prepared
to facilitate the adoption of this document.
The DoPC will be integrated in the DPP of construction products.
NOTE 1 Article 75.2.a of Regulation (EU) 2024/3110[1] contains requirements that the CPR-DPP system to be
compatible with, interoperable with and based upon the DPP established by Regulation (EU) 2024/1781[12],
without compromising interoperability with BIM.
The DoPC includes predetermined environmental essential characteristics, and can refer to product
environmental requirements.
NOTE 2 Regarding predetermined environmental essential characteristics, see Annex II of Regulation (EU)
2024/3110[1].
NOTE 3 Regarding product requirements, see Annex III.3 of Regulation (EU) 2024/3110[1].
Working draft.
Environmental information follow the same data structure as other properties in the DoPC. The
predetermined environmental essential characteristics are generally life cycle assessment (LCA)
indicators or impact categories defined in EN 15804:2012 [13]. A BIM-compatible data template
structure for this information is provided in EN ISO 22057:2022 [14], which can also be used to digitize
generic LCA-data, providing useful information to be used in BIM and in building LCA tools. EN ISO
22057:2022 [14] applies to LCA-based environmental data calculated according to ISO 21930:2017
[15], UNE-EN 15804:2012+A1:2014 [16] and EN 15804:2012 [13].
1 Scope
This document specifies a methodology, with general requirements and criteria, for the development
of the data templates for the declaration of performance and conformity (DoPC) of construction
products.
NOTE This document integrates a data template structure from EN ISO 23387:2025 [4] to be used for DoPC of
construction products, together with a methodology for experts to develop domain specific data templates,
following EN ISO 23386:2020 [3] and the standards from CEN/CLC/JTC 24.

6 Process of defining, modelling and implementing digital DoPC
The process leading to the issuance of the digital DoPC itself is a three stage process, see also Figure 1;
a) Stage 1: Develop a harmonized technical specificätion and tables for DoPC.
b) Stage 2: Implementation of digital DoPC templates in the data dictionary.
c) Stage 3: Issuance of a digital DoPC.
Figure 1 — Graphical representation of the process stages from a standardization request until
the issuance of a digital DoPC and the target audience for each stage.
Stage 1 is the definition of the performance characteristics and, where relevant, product requirements
based on harmonized technical specificätions, and the development of tables for DoPC according to 7.1,
Clause 8 and Annex A.
Stage 1 is executed by domain experts.
NOTE Harmonized technical specificätions (hTS) requested by the European Commission are developed by
CEN product Technical Committees.
EXAMPLE European Organization of Technical Assessment (EOTA) coordinates domain experts developing
European assessment documents (EAD).
Stage 2 is the implementation of tables for DoPC developed in stage 2 in the data dictionary according
to 7.2, Clause 9 and Annex B.
Stage 3 is the issuance of a digital DoPC according to Clause 10.
The digital DoPC refers to the data dictionary from which a user system can retrieve and render the
content of the DoPC to the user correctly. Figure 2 shows a graphical representation of the relationship
between the results of stage 2 and 3.
Figure 2 — Graphical representation of how digital DoPC content refer to definitions in the data
dictionary and the scope of this document.
The same approach can be applied to European assessment documents (EADs), with the necessary
adaptations for the start of the process in Figure 1 and Stage 1.
7 Data point definition
7.1 Data point definition in tables for DoPC
Data point definitions (3.6) shall be derived from harmonized technical specificätions or European
assessment documents.
Data point definitions (3.6) in tables for DoPC shall include all metadata and specifiers that make the
declared data point (3.5) unique as specified in Clause 8 and Annex A.
Tables for DoPC shall be developed in English language.
Tables for DoPC may be translated into other languages by domain experts.
The necessary metadata and specifiers for making a declared data point (3.5) unique shall include the
following:
— a specificätion of the performance characteristic or property holding the declared value or
performance;
— a reference to the reference document and the clause in the document in which the performance
characteristic or property is defined;
— the value kind and data type of the declared value or performance;
— where relevant, a list of the enumerated values that are permitted to be declared as the value for
the data point in the context of the harmonized technical specificätion or European assessment
document;
— where relevant, applicable threshold values or ranges of values that are permitted to be declared
as the value for the data point in the context of the harmonized technical specificätion or European
assessment document;
— where relevant, the physical quantity, dimension and unit of measurement for the performance
characteristic or property;
— where relevant, assessment process specifiers and conditions (dependencies) for the performance
characteristic or property;
— where relevant, the attestation and verificätion system (AVS) specified for essential characteristics.
Each data point shall represent one, unique combination of assessment process specifiers and
conditions where multiple such combinations are possible.
7.2 Implementation of data point definitions
All data point definitions (3.6) in tables for DoPC shall be implemented in a data dictionary (3.2)
compliant with EN ISO 12006-3:2022 and EN ISO 23387:2025 and in accordance with Clause 9 and
Annex B.
A data point definition (3.6) shall be identified and accessible through a dictionary reference in
accordance with 9.2.
All entries implemented in the data dictionary shall be translated into all relevant languages.
Any dictionary property (3.9) referenced in a data point definition shall be implemented in a data
dictionary (3.2) compliant with EN ISO 12006-3:2022 and EN ISO 23387:2025 in accordance with 9.6.
Multiple data point definitions (3.6) may reference the same dictionary property (3.9).
Metadata pertaining to a data point definition (3.6) shall be implemented in a machine readable format.
NOTE Machine readable format means references to other entries in a data dictionary or enumerations from
EN ISO 12006-3:2022 [2].
8 Development of tables for DoPC
8.1 General
Product harmonized standards are developed in CEN technical committees based on Standardization
Requests (SR). Each SR specifies a list of requested new and revised standards within one product family.
NOTE Product families are listed in Annex VII of Regulation (EU) 2024/3110[1].
EXAMPLE 1 The standardization request on "cement, lime and other hydraulic binders" specifies a list of one
new standard to be developed and nine standards to be revised.
Each requested standard specifies one or multiple construction products and their intended uses to be
included in the harmonized standard.
EXAMPLE 2 The draft standardization request on "doors, windows and other related products" specifies for
the standard on "windows, hatches and pedestrian doorsets" the products "windows and hatches", "internal
pedestrian doorsets" and "external pedestrian doorsets".
The tables for the digital DoPC shall be developed according to Annex A and the following:
— product definition and intended use according to 8.2,
— table of essential characteristics according to 8.3,
— table of product requirements according to 8.4,
— tables for data points common to all construction products according to 8.5.
