Annex II PRODUCT FAMILY
United Kingdom
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 approvals:
| F1Products/materials for which as clearly identifiable stage in the production process results in an 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 1 | |||
| 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) | |||
| System 1: See Annex III Section 2 (i) of Directive 89/106/EEC, without audit-testing of samples. | |||
| System 2+: See Annex III Section 2 (ii) of Directive 89/106/EEC, 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 | |||
| Product(s) | Intended use(s) | Level(s) or class(es)(Reaction to fire) | Attestation of conformity system(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| External thermal insulation composite systems/kits with rendering (ETICS) | in external wall subject to fire regulations | A1 f1 , A2 , B , C | 1 |
| A1 f2 , A2 , B , C , D, E (A1 to E) f3 , F | 2+ | ||
| in external wall not subject to fire regulations | any | 2+ | |
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.
