Commission Decision of 3 July 1998 on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20(2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards post-tensioning kits for the prestressing of structures (notified under document number C(1998) 1506) (Text with EEA relevance) (98/456/EC)

ANNEX II PRODUCT FAMILY

POST-TENSIONING KITS FOR THE PRESTRESSING OF STRUCTURES

1. Systems of attestation of conformity

For the product(s) and intended use(s) listed below, EOTA is requested to specify the following system(s) of attestation of conformity in the relevant guideline for European technical approval:

System 1+: See Annex III, Section 2, point (i), to Directive 89/106/EEC, with audit-testing of samples.
Product(s)	Intended use(s)	Level(s) or class(es)	Attestation of conformity system(s)
Post-tensioning kits	For the prestressing of structures	—	1 +

2. Conditions to be applied by EOTA on the specifications of the attestation of conformity system

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.
