on the applicable systems to assess and verify constancy of performance of metal-faced sandwich panels for structural use 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/EECf1, and in particular Article 28 and Article 60(h) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
An appropriate decision for assessment and verification of constancy of performance does not exist for metal-faced sandwich panels for structural use (‘sandwich panels’). It is therefore necessary to establish which systems of assessment and verification of constancy of performance are applicable to the sandwich panels.
(2)
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

SYSTEMS OF ASSESSMENT AND VERIFICATION OF CONSTANCY OF PERFORMANCE
Table 1
For all essential characteristics related to Basic Requirement on Construction Works No 1 (Mechanical resistance and stability)
| Product and intended use | Applicable system |
|---|---|
| Metal-faced sandwich panels for structural use | 2+ |
Table 2
For reaction to fire only
| For all products indicated in the first column of Table 1, the AVCP systems are determined, depending on their subfamilies, as follows: | |
| Product subfamilies | Applicable system |
|---|---|
| Products for which a clearly identifiable stage in their production process results in an improvement of their reaction to fire performance (e.g. by adding fire retardants or limiting of organic materials) | 1 |
| Products for which an applicable European legal base exists to classify their reaction to fire performance without testing | 4 |
| Products not belonging to the subfamilies indicated in rows 1 and 2 | 3 |
Table 3
For all other essential characteristics
| Product and intended use | Applicable system |
