Decree amending Government Decree No 275/2013 of 16 July 2013 on the detailed rules of 
designing and inc orporating construction products into buildings and on their declaration of 
performance (6 pages, in Hungarian ) 
6. Description of content : The Regulation (EU) no 305/2011/EU of the European Parliament 
and of the Council (further EU Regulation) laying down  harmonized conditions for the 
marketing of construction products and on repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC must be 
fully applied from the 1st of July 2013. Relating to the EU Regulation, several Hungarian 
laws must have been amended in accordance with  it. There are several construction 
products, which are not covered by harmonized European standard or European technical 
assessment, so EU member states have the possibility to have national regulations for 
these construction products. Some of these const ruction products, before the EU 
Regulation entered into force, had been considered as fire -technical products, and the 
Hungarian marketing of them was permitted by the National Directorate General for 
Disaster Management (NDGDM).  
The modification of the Go vernment Decree authorizes the NDGDM to give general 
installation (marketing) permission for fixed fire protection systems, or parts of these 
systems, which are not covered by harmonized European standard or European technical 
assessment. The goal of the m odification is to make the Hungarian licensing of the above 
mentioned products faster and cheaper.  
The modification also includes regulations for unique products and products intended to be 
used in historical buildings.  G/TBT/N/HUN/32
