(1) Materials for which the reaction to fire performance is susceptible to change during the production process ANNEX III ATTESTATION OF CONFORMITY Note: for kits having more than one of the intended uses specified in the following families, the tasks for the approved body, derived from the relevant systems of attestation of conformity, are cumulative. PRODUCT FAMILY INTERNAL PARTITION KITS (1/5) 1. 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 approval: >TABLE> 2. Conditions to be applied by EOTA on the specifications of the attestation of conformity system 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 of all for such characteristic (see Article 2(1) of Directive 89/106/EEC and, where applicable, point 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.
