−	A Declaration of Performance and Conformity (DoPC), is a self-issued [https://~~www~~.~~designingbuildings~~.~~co.uk~~/~~wiki~~/~~Document document] by the [https:~~//~~www.designingbuildings.co.uk~~/~~wiki~~/~~Manufacturer manufacturer~~] ~~that declares a~~ [https://~~www~~.~~designingbuildings~~.~~co.uk~~/~~wiki~~/~~Construction_products construction] [https:~~//~~www.designingbuildings.co.uk~~/~~wiki/Construction_products product's~~]~~[https:~~//~~www~~.~~designingbuildings~~.~~co.uk/wiki/Performance performance] characteristics~~	+	A Declaration of Performance and Conformity (DoPC), is a self-issued document by a manufacturer that declares the performance or technical characteristics of a product but also its conformity to environmental and climate standards. DoPC was introduced the [https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=OJ:L_202403110 Construction Products Regulation (EU) 2024/3110] published in the [https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=OJ:L_202403110 Official Journal of the European Union on 18 December 2024] entering into force on 7 January 2025, and replaced the previously used Declaration of Performance under the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR) 305/2011 (and the Construction Products Directive (CPD) 89/106/EEC). The 2024 CPR regulations also introduced the the mandatory Digital Product Passport (DPP), giving one year for familiarisation and coming into full force in January 2026.

−	~~alongside~~ the ~~introduction~~ of the ~~mandatory Digital~~ Product ~~Passport~~ (~~DPP~~).	+	Both the DoP and the DoPC are legal documents written and issued by the manufacturer stating the product performance in terms of its essential characteristics (for DoP) but also wider issues of conformity (DoPC). Their purpose is to provide standardised information about the product's performance, making it easier to compare different products, that can also feed into Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). A product can then be CE marked once, previously the DoP was created and in the future after the DoPC has been created, and thus responsibility for the declared performance, and in the future also its conformity.
