The harmonization of contruction products across Europe is taking place at a rapid pace and the liquid waterproofing industry has already been affected by a number of European technical regulations.

This harmonization process is manly driven by two European bodies :

The CEN and the EOTA have set up various technical groups focusing on different aspects of the harmonisation of technical products.

The main goal of CESEL ECLAWS is to give its members some access to these technical discussions in order to gain an understanding of the upcoming European technical rules, to promote best industry practices and to protect the interests of the liquid waterproofing industry.

To achive this goal, CESEL ECLAWS has become an associate member of CEPMC, the Council of European Producers of Materials for Construction. CEPMC monitors European legislative, administrative and economic measures affecting the construction materials and building products industry. CEPMC represents the interests of its Members at a European level. It provides contact for its Members with European governmental institutions.

Today, CESEL ECLAWS is mainly interested in the following European projects :
