Overview

EN 1748-2-2:2004 - published by CEN - defines the evaluation of conformity and factory production control (FPC) requirements for glass ceramics used in buildings. It is part of the EN 1748 Part 2 series (see EN 1748-2-1 for definitions and general physical/mechanical properties) and supports conformity assessment and CE marking under EU construction product rules. Note: products that include electrical wiring or connections may also be subject to other directives (e.g., Low Voltage Directive).

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and definitions
  • Applies to glass ceramics intended for building use; links to EN 1748-2-1 for terms and baseline properties.
• Evaluation of conformity
  • Describes routes for demonstrating compliance: initial type testing, factory production control, initial factory inspection, and continuous surveillance.
  • Specifies test reports, product descriptions and how to manage significant changes.
• Factory production control (FPC)
  • Annex A details FPC organisation, control system, inspection/testing tables and marking rules.
  • Covers responsibilities for process control and record keeping to ensure consistent product performance.
• Declared characteristics
  • Lists properties manufacturers may declare or must determine: mechanical (density, hardness, Young’s modulus, bending strength), thermal (coefficient of expansion, thermal conductivity, specific heat), optical (light transmittance, refractive index, emissivity), durability and safety characteristics.
• Safety and performance testing

1) Factory production control;
This shall include the following:
a) Inspection of samples taken at the factory in accordance with a prescribed test plan;
b) Initial inspection of the factory and of factory production control;
c) Continuous surveillance and assessment of the factory production control. 2) Initial type testing of the product; Note: There may be a need to involve a third party, with 1b, 1c, and/or 2, for the purpose of regulatory marking (see Annex ZA). 5.2 Initial type testing of the product (see 5.1, 2) 5.2.1 General All the product’s characteristics shall be initial type tested to verify they are in conformity with the requirements of this document. In addition, instead of performing any actual testing, initial type testing may make use of: – generally accepted and/or conventional and/or standardised values, in Clause 2 referenced standards, or in publications that are referred to in these standards; – standardised calculation methods and recognised calculation methods in Clause 2 referenced standards, or in publications that are referred to in these standards; – test report(s) on the basis of 5.2.1.2 when made available except for the characteristics listed in 5.2.2. – where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the component manufacturer, on the basis of conformity with other product standards, these characteristics need not be reassessed providing they remain unchanged by the manufacturing process; – release of dangerous substances may be assessed indirectly by controlling the content of the substance concerned; – durability may be assessed indirectly by controlling the production processes according to this document; Note 1: Products CE marked in accordance with appropriate harmonised European specifications may be presumed to have the performances stated with the CE marking.
Note2: There may be a need to involve a third party for the purpose of regulatory marking (see Annex ZA). When actual testing is required then the Initial Type Testing (ITT) shall be undertaken on a sample representative of the product taken from direct production or a prototype, any plant and/ or line. Whenever a change occurs in the raw material or production process (subject to the definition of a family), which would change significantly one or more of the characteristics, the type tests shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s).

11 5.2.1.1 Multiple lines/sites If a manufacturer operates more than one line and/or site, the following may reduce the requirement for multiple Initial Type Testing (ITT): i) The manufacturers’ technical file for a product shall specifically covers all sites and/or lines of the same manufacturer1, ii) The manufacturer shall establish a direct relationship between production control, initial type testing and on-going internal audit testing, iii) The manufacturer shall have a responsible individual designated to ensure product compliance based on:  The operation of a consistent Factory Production Control system on all applicable sites and/or lines,  The manufacturer having obtained evidence that shows the product to be consistent, with respect to both product characteristics and intended use characteristics,  The manufacturer has in place an internal auditing scheme, including product consistency. 5.2.1.2 Historic Data Tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this document (same product, same characteristic(s), same or more onerous test method, sampling method and attestation of conformity) may be taken into account. 5.2.2 Initial type testing if the product belongs to the group glass ceramics, clear or tinted Initial type testing to establish if a product conforms to the definition of glass ceramics, may be economised as much as possible. For that purpose appropriate available test reports in accordance with 5.2.1.2 are equivalent to actual testing and may be used instead of actual testing. The initial type testing concerns the product aspects as listed in Table 2. Table 2: Product aspects to be checked if product belongs to group glass ceramics
