The products set out in Annex II shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory-production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex III shall be indicated in mandates for guidelines for European technical approvals.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States. Done at Brussels, 12 October 1998. For the Commission Martin BANGEMANN Member of the Commission (1) OJ L 40, 11. 2. 1989, p. 12. (2) OJ L 220, 30. 8. 1993, p. 1.
Self-supporting translucent roof kits (except glass-based kits) For all uses, excluding those subject to reaction to fire regulations for products made of materials falling into classes A (1), B (2), C (3). (1) Materials for which the reaction to fire performance is susceptible to change during production (in general, those subject to chemical modification, e.g. fire retardants, or where changes of composition may lead to changes in reaction to fire performance). ANNEX II Self-supporting translucent roof kits (except glass-based kits) For uses subject to reaction to fire regulations for products made of materials falling into classes A (1), B (2), C (3). (1) Materials for which the reaction to fire performance is susceptible to change during production (in general, those subject to chemical modification, e.g. fire retardants, or where changes of composition may lead to changes in reaction to fire performance). ANNEX III 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 SELF-SUPPORTING TRANSLUCENT ROOF KITS (EXCEPT GLASS-BASED KITS) (1/3) 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 approvals: >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 at all for such a 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. PRODUCT FAMILY SELF-SUPPORTING TRANSLUCENT ROOF KITS (EXCEPT GLASS-BASED KITS) (2/3) 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 approvals: >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 at all for such a 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. PRODUCT FAMILY SELF-SUPPORTING TRANSLUCENT ROOF KITS (EXCEPT GLASS-BASED KITS) (3/3) 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 approvals: >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 at all for such a characteristic (see Article 2(1) of the CPD and, where applicable, clause 1.2.3 of the interpretative documents).
