Road signs have been identified as “High Risk” under the Construction Products Directive (CPD) because of their function of informing and warning the motorist. This being so, they must be independently assessed to gain the required CE mark in the very near future.

The Kitemark® scheme mirrors the requirements for CPD (as shown above) allowing manufacturers to be one step ahead and achieve due diligence in advance of the transition to CE marking.
