Systems of attestation of conformity

For the products and intended uses listed below, CEN/Cenelec are requested to specify the following systems of attestation of conformity in the relevant harmonized standards:

Products

Intended uses

Levels or classes

Attestation of conformity systems

Rigid floorings products for external uses

Paving units (with flat or tactile surface) including pavers; flags; kerbs; blocks; pavement lights; self finished decking of metal sheet; rigid floor tiles; slate; tiles; mosaics; quarry tiles; terrazzotiles; expanded metal or grid floor decking; floor gratings.

For external uses and road finishes, to cover external pedestrian and vehicular circulation areas

System 4: See Annex III, Section 2, point (ii) of Directive 89/106/EEC, third possibility.

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, 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.
