Declaration of performance and conformity

Explained

Regulation (EU) 2024/3110 replaces the declaration of performance with the declaration of performance and conformity (DoPC). The switch happens per product family: the obligations apply one year after the adoption of the implementing act that makes the new harmonised standard mandatory, or later if that act says so (Art. 95(9)). Until then the declaration of performance under Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 stays decisive for products whose specification is still listed under the old rules. Article 94 repeals the provisions of the old regulation that remain in force with effect from 8 January 2040; the Commission web page says 2039, but the text decides. Under Art. 16(1) making the declaration available electronically is the default. A fixed address per product type and an archive of all versions make the change easier, because the document type changes while the address can stay the same.
