Huurre: first on the market to achieve AVCP 1 certification for fire performance
At Huurre, we continue to make progress in offering our customers the highest guarantees of quality and regulatory compliance.
As a result, we now hold the fire performance certificate in accordance with the AVCP 1 system for CE marking, one of the most stringent certifications required by European regulations.
Currently, all PIR, PIRM and QuadCore panels hold this certification, which confirms that their performance has been assessed and verified through an independent process subject to continuous monitoring by a third-party body.
From now on, this certification is included in our technical data sheets alongside a brief explanation of its scope and implications.
Furthermore, this achievement represents a significant milestone for us, as it positions us as the first in our market to obtain this certification, consolidating a clear competitive advantage over other manufacturers in the sector.
In short, the AVCP 1 certificate demonstrates that our products meet the most stringent regulatory standards and that their performance is backed by a rigorous and independent control system, offering our customers the peace of mind that comes from working with solutions that are reliable, safe and consistent over time.
Why is the AVCP 1 system important for fire performance?
When it comes to safety-critical characteristics, such as reaction to fire, European regulations demand the highest levels of control and supervision.
The AVCP 1 system guarantees that:
- – The declared performance has been verified by an independent body.
- – Manufacturing is subject to regular audits.
- – Consistency of performance is continuously monitored.
- – The products maintain the required safety levels throughout their commercial life.
This provides greater confidence to designers, installers, developers, engineering firms and end-users.
What is the AVCP system and why is it key to the CE marking of construction products?
Safety, quality and reliability are fundamental aspects of the construction sector. To ensure that products entering the European market meet verified performance standards that remain consistent over time, the regulations establish the so-called internationally AVCP (Assessment and Verification of Constancy of Performance).
These systems form part of the regulatory framework set out in Regulations (EU) No 305/2011 and (EU) No 2024/3110 on Construction Products (CPR) and define the responsibilities of both the manufacturer and the notified bodies during the CE marking process.
In other words, the AVCP system sets out how a product’s performance is verified and what level of external control must be applied to ensure that such performance remains consistent over time.
