2 SUBJEcT: THE CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS DIRECTIVE IN THE PRACTICE THE CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS DIRECTIVE (COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 89/106/CE) Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products Seite 2

3 GENERAL Purpose: Taking down technical trade impendings in the European Union without a loss of the former protection level Aim: Construction products to be sold, have to be suitable. Essential requirements to construction products: 1.Mechanical resistance and stability 2. Safety in case of fire 3. Hygiene, health and the environment 4. Safety in use 5. Protection against noise 6. Energy economy and heat retention Seite 3

4 APPLICATION RANGE Raw materials Building elements Aggregates for concrete, mortar, asphalt and road construction Aggregates for railway ballast, armourstone Natural stone Cement and building lime Gypsum blocks Building materials Masonry units Concrete and cement pipes and fittings Concrete and clay pavers Terrazzo and ceramic tiles Thermal insulation products Wood-based panels Geotextiles and geotextile-related products Elastomeric seals Prefabricated chimneys Radiators and convectors Lighting columns WC, Kitchen sinks Building equipment Fire detection and fire alarm systems Building hardware (doors, locks) Fixed firefighting systems Smoke and heat control systems Wastewater lifting plants Fixed ladders for manholes At the moment there are about 157 harmonized standards Seite 4

5 STANDARDS Technical Specifications: (Requirements of the Construction Product Directive) - standards EN - harmonized standards with a mandated EN + Annex ZA The Annex ZA prescribe the tests and the documentations for the realisation of conformity In this case it is forbidden to sell the construction product without testing and attestation of the conformity (CE Mark) - National standards / directions (as national documents of application) Seite 5

6 DIFFERENT SYSTEMS OF CONFORMITY (AoC) Kind of document Certification of products Declaration of conformity of the producer Attestation of conformity AoC F.P.C Factory production control (documentation) Producer Continuous testing of samples according to a fixed testplan Initial type testing Testing laboratory Initial type testing Audit testing of samples Inspection body Initial inspection of factory and of F.P.C Continuous surveillance and approval of F.P.C Certification body EG- Certificate of Conformity Certificate of F.P.C Seite 6

7 BODIES INVOLVED IN THE ATTESTATION OF CONFORMITY Certification body - impartial body, governmental or non-governmental, having competence and integrity Inspection body - impartial body having the organization, staff, competence and integrity Testing laboratory -with calibrated laboratory equipment -i.e. accredited laboratory - In case of System 1+/1 everything may be performed by one and the same body or by different bodies - In case of System 2+/2 the inspection body and /or the testing laboratory involved in the attestation of conformity carries out acts on behalf of the certification body. The certification and inspection bodies and the test laboratories of a certification body have to be accredited by a national government institution and notified by the EU. Every notified body gets its own identification number Seite 7

9 FACTORY PRODUCTION CONTROL (F.P.C) Documentation (Manual) 1. General introduction 2. Organization Responsibility and authority Management review 3. Control procedures Document and data control Sub-contract services Knowledge of the raw material 4. Management of production 5. Inspection and testing Equipment and Calibration Frequency and location of inspection, Sampling and testing 6. Records / documentation of the test results 7. Control of non-conforming products 8. Handling, storage and conditioning in production areas 9. Transport and packaging 10. Training of staff Seite 9

10 DIFFERENT SYSTEMS OF CONFORMITY (AoC) Kind of document Certification of products Declaration of conformity of the producer Attestation of conformity AoC F.P.C Factory production control (documentation) Producer Continuous testing of samples according to a fix testplan Initial type testing Testing laboratory Initial type testing Audit testing of samples Inspection body Initial inspection of factory and of F.P.C Continuous surveillance and approval of F.P.C Certification body EG- Certificate of Conformity Certificate of F.P.C Seite 10

11 CONTINUOUS TESTING Example: Aggregates for concrete EN 12620, Sys. 2+ (for every aggregate size) - Grading 1 per week - Shape of coarse aggregate 1 per month - Fines content 1 per week - Particle density and water absorption 1 per year - Freezing and thawing 1 per 2 year - Alkali-silica reactivity when required - Petrographic description 1 per 3 years - Dangerous substances when required - => external and internal laboratory Seite 11

12 DIFFERENT SYSTEMS OF CONFORMITY (AoC) Kind of document Certification of products Declaration of conformity of the producer Attestation of conformity AoC F.P.C Factory production control (documentation) Producer Continuous testing of samples according to a fix testplan Initial type testing Testing laboratory Initial type testing Audit testing of samples Inspection body Initial inspection of factory and of F.P.C Continuous surveillance and approval of F.P.C Certification body EG- Certificate of Conformity Certificate of F.P.C Seite 12

13 INITIAL TYPE TESTING Example: Aggregates for concrete EN 12620, Sys for every aggregate size and for general properties - Grading - Shape of coarse aggregate - Fines content - Particle density and water absorption - Freezing and thawing - Alkali-silica reactivity (when required) - Petrographic description - Dangerous substances (when required) - Shell content - Humus content - Chloride and sulfur content - Lightweight organic contamination Seite 13

14 DIFFERENT SYSTEMS OF CONFORMITY (AoC) Kind of document Certification of products Declaration of conformity of the producer Attestation of conformity AoC F.P.C Factory production control (documentation) Producer Continuous testing of samples according to a fix testplan Initial type testing Testing laboratory Initial type testing Audit testing of samples Inspection body Initial inspection of factory and of F.P.C Continuous surveillance and approval of F.P.C Certification body EG- Certificate of Conformity Certificate of F.P.C Seite 14

15 OBLIGATIONS OF THE PRODUCER Certificate of F.P.C Factory production control by the notified body EU-Declaration of conformity under the responsibility of the producer CE marking of the product under the responsibility of the producer Seite 15

16 EU- DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY (EAMPLE) Seite 16

17 OBLIGATIONS OF THE PRODUCER Certificate of F.P.C Factory production control (by the notified body ) EU-Declaration of conformity under the responibility of the producer CE marking of the product under the responsibility of the producer Seite 17

18 CE-MARKING: EAMPLE Seite 18

19 Trade and CE Legal issues: - Products for which a mandated and harmonized norm is valid are allowed to be brought into traffic only with the CE-Mark (law) - If you are dealing with such products, you have to be aware that - your products have to be withdrawn from the market by the national market authority such as the customs - in case you are bidding for a tender you are not eligible - in case of a event of a damage you may loose your cover of insurance Seite 19
