# Commission Decision of 14 July 1997 on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20 (2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards external thermal insulation composite systems/kits with rendering (ETICS) (Text with EEA relevance) (97/556/EC), Division: Systems of attestation of conformity

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

For the product(s) and intended use(s) listed below, CEN is requested to specify the following system of attestation of conformity in the relevant harmonised European standards:
System 1: see point (i) of Section 2 of Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC, without audit testing of samples.
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 walls
Any
1
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.
