1. Systems of attestation of conformity

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

System 1: See Directive 89/106/EEC, Annex III(2)(i), without audit-testing of samples. System 3: See Directive 89/106/EEC, Annex HI(2)(ii), Second possibility. System 4: See Directive 89/106/EEC, Annex III(2)(ii), Third possibility.
Product(s)	Intended use(s)	Level(s) or class(es)	Attestation of conformity system(s)
Doors and gates (with or without related hardware)	fire/smoke compartmentation and on escape routes	—	1
	other declared specific uses and/or uses subject to other specific requirements, in particular noise, energy, tightness and safety-in-use	—	3
	for internal communication only	—	4
Building hardware related to doors and gates	fire/smoke compartmentation and on escape routes	—	1
Windows (with or without related hardware)	fire/smoke compartmentation and on escape routes	—	1
	any other	—	3
Shutters and blinds (with or without related hardware)	external use	—	4

The specification for 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, point 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.
