Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2015/1936

of 8 July 2015

on the applicable systems to assess and verify constancy of performance of ventilation ducts and pipes for air ventilation pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 laying down harmonised conditions for the marketing of construction products and repealing Council Directive 89/106/EEC^f1, and in particular Article 60(h) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

The assessment and verification of constancy of performance of ventilation ducts and pipes intended to be used for air ventilation should be carried out in accordance to the systems set out in Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.

(2)

It is therefore necessary to establish which systems of assessment and verification of constancy of performance are applicable to ventilation ducts and pipes intended to be used for air ventilation. This should enable manufacturers to access the internal market more efficiently, thus contributing to greater competitiveness of the construction industry as a whole

(3)

This Decision should only apply to products not within the scope of other corresponding acts of Union law. Thus, it should not apply to ducts and pipes used for fixed fire-fighting systems since they are already covered by Commission Decision 96/577/EC^f2 and Commission Decision 1999/472/EC^f3,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
