Non load-bearing permanent shuttering kits/systems, to be filled with normal concrete and, where relevant, with reinforcement, based on either blocks made of an insulating material (or a combination of an insulating material and other materials) or panels made of an insulating material (or a combination of an insulating material and other materials), consisting of shuttering leaves linked by spacers, in either case materials of any reaction to fire class, to be used for the construction of external and internal walls subject to fire regulations, in buildings. Non load-bearing permanent shuttering kits/systems, to be filled with normal concrete and, where relevant, with reinforcement, based on either hollow blocks made of an insulating material (or a combination of an insulating material and other materials) or panels made of an insulating material (or a combination of an insulating material and other materials), consisting of shuttering leaves linked by spacers in either case materials of any reaction to fire class, to be used for the construction of external and internal walls not subject to fire regulations, in buildings. ANNEX II PRODUCT FAMILY NON LOAD BEARING PERMANENT SHUTTERING: KITS/SYSTEMS BASED ON HOLLOW BLOCKS OR PANELS OF INSULATING MATERIALS AND, SOMETIMES, CONCRETE (1/1) 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> 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 the CPD 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.
