ANNEX III U.K. PRODUCT FAMILYCEMENTS, BUILDING LIMES AND OTHER HYDRAULIC BINDERS

Systems of attestation of conformity U.K.

For the product(s) and intended use(s) listed below, CEN/CENELEC are requested to specify the following system(s) of attestation of conformity in the relevant harmonized standard(s):

System 1 +:
See Annex III Section 2 (i) of Directive 89/106/EEC, with audit-testing of samples taken at the factory
System 2:
See Annex III Section 2 (ii) of Directive 89/106/EEC, first possibility, including certification of the factory production control by an approved body on the basis of initial inspection of factory and of factory production control (without continous surveillance, assessment and approval of factory production control)
System 2 +:
See Annex III Section 2 (ii) of Directive 89/106/EEC, first possibility, including certification of the factory production control by an approved body on the basis of initial inspection of factory and of factory production control as well as of continuous surveillance, assessment and approval of factory production control
Product(s)	Intended use(s)	Level(s) or class(es)	Attestation of conformity system(s)
Common cements, including: Portland cement. Portland composite cements: Portland-slag cement Portland-silica fume cement Portland-pozzolana cement Portland-fly ash cement Portland-burnt shale cement Portland-limestone cement Portland composite cement Blastfurnace cements Pozzolanic cements Composite cements	Preparation of concrete, mortar, grout and other mixes for construction and for the manufacture of construction products	—	1 +
Special cements, including: Low heat cements Sulfate resisting cement White cement Sea water resisting cement Low alkali cement		—	1 +
Calcium aluminate cements		—	1 +
Masonry cements		—	1 +
[F1 Building lime, including: Calcium lime Dolomitic lime Hydraulic lime		—	2 +]
Hydraulic road binders	Preparation of concrete, mortar, grout and other mixes for road bases stabilisation	—	2 +

The specification of the system should be such that it can be implemented even where performance does not need to be determined for a certain characteristic, because at least one Member State has no legal requirement at all for such characteristic [see Article 2 (1) of Directive 89/106/EEC and, where applicable, clause 1.2.3 of the Interpretative Documents]. In those cases the verification of such a characteristic must not be imposed on the manufacturer if he does not wish to declare the performance of the product in that respect.
