EN 16034 is a set of European standards which specify the technical performance characteristics for fire resistant and smoke control products, such as fire doors. Compliance with this standard requires to fulfill the requirements of the Construction Product Regulation[1] for construction products (short CPR).
The primary purpose of the CPR is to remove technical barriers to trade for product manufacturers within the Internal market through the development and adoption of common European technical specifications.
Product manufacturers can sell their products throughout Europe by complying with a single common specification recognised and accepted by all Member States, rather than having to test and comply with different national standards in each of them.[2]
EN 16034 shall be implemented on a national level by national standardization bodies.
Products which are covered by EN 16034 have to be CE marked when placed on the market. CE marking enables free trade within all Member States.
In 1994 the European Commission has invited the European Standardization bodies CEN and CENELEC to draw up a common European standard for fire and smoke proof doors.[3] In 2015 the final version has been published under the standard code EN 16034 on the Official Journal of the European Union.
