The NATCP has launched a nationwide inspection of the construction products market

Government officials found deficiencies in nearly 40 percent of the inspections conducted in 2025, which indicates that regulatory oversight in the sector remains necessary. During the inspections, more than 220 product types were examined, and corrective action was required in 62 cases. The most common deficiencies were found in labeling, documentation, and the paperwork required for lawful distribution.

The significance of this year’s inspections stems from the new, EU-wide harmonized regulations, which establish uniform requirements for the distribution of construction products. In addition to inspections, the authority places special emphasis on prevention, supporting businesses in complying with the rules and rectifying any deficiencies, thereby promoting a law-abiding market.

Inspections will be conducted at specialty stores, home improvement stores, building supply yards, other retail outlets, as well as at manufacturers’ and importers’ facilities. The inspections cover sandwich panels, WPC decking, roller shutters, and exterior blinds available on the market, as well as corrugated metal roofing structures. The authority is examining whether the products comply with the prescribed marketing conditions, specifically whether they bear markings suitable for identification, whether a performance declaration issued by the manufacturer in Hungarian is available, and whether the data contained therein and the related documents are well-founded and consistent with one another.

The NATCP is committed to ensuring the transparent and lawful operation of the construction products market through consistent and decisive action. These inspections not only serve to uncover irregularities but also send a clear signal to market participants. The Authority will use all necessary means to protect consumers and maintain fair market competition.
