The CPR is regarded as lex specialis – the principle whereby a more specific law takes precedence over a more general law if both are applicable to the same situation. For construction products, the CPR therefore takes precedence over the ESPR, unless the ESPR contains more specific requirements for certain aspects of the sustainability of construction products. If there is uncertainty about the applicability of a particular product, both pieces of legislation should be checked for their respective jurisdiction.
