Division Systems of attestation of conformity
United Kingdom
For the product(s) and intended use(s) listsed below, CEN/Cenelec are requested to specify the following system(s) of attestation of conformity in the relevant harmonized standard(s):
| ‘Critical’ in the sense that those requirements may, in case of failure of the bearing, put the works or parts thereof in states beyond those regarded as serviceability and ultimate limit states. | |||
| ‘Not critical’ in the sense that those requirements may not, in case of failure of the bearing and under normal circumstances, put the works or parts thereof in states beyond those regarded as serviceability and ultimate limit states. | |||
| System 1: See CPD Annex III.2.(i), without audit-testing of samples. | |||
| System 3: See CPD Annex III.2.(ii), second possibility. | |||
| Product(s) | Intended use(s) | Level(s) or class(es) | Attestation of conformity system(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Structural bearings | In buildings and civil engineering works where requirements on individual bearings are criticalf1 | 1f2 | |
| In buildings and civil engineering works where requirements on individual bearings are not criticalf3 | 3f4 | ||
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.
