Why the CE marking is not mandatory for re-used construction elements.
The first part of the study highlights the ambiguity of the concept of re-use in EU-Waste Framework legislation. In the current context of legal uncertainty, it explores why the CE marking is not mandatory for the operator who reintroduces re-used construction components on the market.
The second part of the study distinguishes between the legal rule and the technical standard in the construction sector. It highlights the challenges of the increasing interaction between these two types of regulatory instruments.
