Division Systems of attestation of conformity
United Kingdom
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 harmonized standard(s):
| For reaction to fire, see F1Commission Decision 2000/147/EC ( OJ L 50, 23.2.2000, p. 14 ). | |||
| Products/materials for which a clearly identifiable stage in the production process results in any improvement of the reaction to fire classification (e.g. an addition of fire retardants or a limiting of organic material). | |||
| Products/materials not covered by footnote ( 2 ). | |||
| System 1: See CPD Annex III.2.(i), without audit-testing of samples. | |||
| System 3: See CPD Annex III.2.(ii), Second possibility. | |||
| System 4: See CPD Annex III.2.(ii), third possibility. | |||
| F2Products/materials that do not require to be tested for reaction to fire (e.g. Products/materials of Classes A1 according to Commission Decision 96/603/EC). | |||
| Product(s) | Intended use(s) | Level(s) or class(es)(Reaction to fire of incorporated materials)f1 | Attestation of conformity system(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plasterboards and ceiling elements with thin laminations, fibrous gypsum boards,F3fibrous gypsum plaster casts and composite panels (laminates) in which the incorporated material is placed on a face susceptible to be exposed to fire, including relevant ancillary products | In walls, partitions or ceilings (or lining thereof) subject to reaction to fire requirements | A1 f2 , A2 , B , C A1 f3 , A2 , B , C , D, E (A1 to E) f4 , F | 1f5 3f6 4f7 |
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 the CPD 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.
