Systems of attestation of conformity U.K.
For the product(s) and intended use(s) listed below, the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) is requested to specify the following system of attestation of conformity in the relevant harmonised European standards:
| a Products or materials for which a clearly identifiable stage in the production process results in an improvement of the reaction to fire classification (for example, the addition of fire retardants or the limitation of organic material). | |||
| b Products or materials not covered by footnote a | |||
| c Products or materials that are not required to be tested for reaction to fire (for example, products or materials of Class A1 in accordance with Commission Decision 96/603/EC ( OJ L 267, 19.10.1996, p. 23 )). | |||
| System 1: See Annex III(2)(i) to Directive 89/106/EEC, without audit-testing of samples. | |||
| System 3: See Annex III(2)(ii) to Directive 89/106/EEC, second possibility. | |||
| System 4: See Annex III(2)(ii) to Directive 89/106/EEC, third possibility. | |||
| Product(s) | Intended use(s) | Level(s) or class(es) (Reaction to fire) | Attestation of conformity system(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beam/block floor units and elements incorporating organic materials | For uses subject to regulations on reaction to fire | (A1, A2, B, C) a | 1 |
| (A1, A2, B, C) b , D, E | 3 | ||
| (A1 to E) c , F | 4 | ||
The specification for the system must be such that it may be implemented even where it is not necessary to determine the performance for a certain characteristic, because at least one Member State has no legal requirement for that 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 it does not wish to declare the performance of the product in that respect.]
