Schedules & Appendices

ANNEX I

STRUCTURAL SEALANT GLAZING SYSTEMS (CURTAIN WALLING)

- Structural sealant glazing kits of types I, II, III and IV (1) to be used as external walls and roofs.

METAL ANCHORS FOR USE IN CONCRETE (MECHANICAL FASTENERS)

- Metal anchors for use in concrete (heavy-duty type) to be used for fixing and/or supporting concrete structural elements or heavy units such as cladding and suspended ceilings.

(1) Type I: With mechanical means of transferring the self-weight of the panels to the sealant support frame and thence to the structure. Devices are used to reduce danger in the event of a sealant failure.

Type II: With mechanical means of transferring the self-weight of the panels to the sealant support frame and thence to the structure. Total reliance on the structural sealant for the transfer of all other actions.

Type III: With transfer of the self-weight of the panels to the sealant support frame and thence to the structure by means of the structural seal. Devices are used to reduce danger in the event of sealant failure.

Type IV: Total reliance on the structural sealant for the transfer of all actions, including self-weight of the panels to the sealant support frame and thence to the structure.

Systems of attestation of conformity

For the product(s) and intended use(s) listed below, European Organization for Technical Approval (EOTA) is requested to specify the following system(s) of attestation of conformity in the relevant guidelines for European technical approval:

>TABLE>

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.
