ANNEX III
PRODUCT FAMILYPRECAST NORMAL/LIGHTWEIGHT/AUTOCLAVED AERATED CONCRETE PRODUCTS (1/1)
1.Systems of attestation of conformity
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 harmonised standard(s):
Product(s) | Intended use(s) | Level(s) or class(es) | Attestation of conformity system(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
Precast normal/lightweight/autoclaved aerated concrete products | for structural use | — | 2 + |
for non-structural or light structural use9 | — | 4 | |
Light structural use refers to applications that in case of failure are not supposed to cause the collapse of the works or part of them, inadmissible deformations or injury to people (to be defined by Member States). | |||
System 2+: See Directive 89/106/EEC, Annex III(2)(ii), 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. | |||
System 4: See Directive 89/106/EEC, Annex III(2)(ii), 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, 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.

BEAM/BLOCK FLOOR UNITS AND ELEMENTS INCORPORATING ORGANIC MATERIALS
Systems of attestation of conformity
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:
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)13 | 1 |
(A1, A2, B, C)14, D, E | 3 | ||
(A1 to E)15, F | 4 | ||
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). | |||
Products or materials not covered by footnote13 | |||
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. | |||
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.
