What is the relationship between the Eurocodes and the European Product Standards?
Product Standards exist for construction products, establishing requirements for performance and other properties so products meet the Essential Requirements of the Construction Products Directive. Eurocodes are codes that are concerned with the design of structures. Eurocodes are generally written on the assumption that structures designed in accordance with the Eurocodes will be constructed from products manufactured in accordance with the product standards. Eurocodes can cross-refer to product standards and may form the basis of design for products.
