Fixed, vertical road traffic signs — Part 1: Fixed signs Part 2: Transilluminated traffic bollards (TTB) Part 3: Delineator posts and retroreflectors Part 4: (This part) Factory production control Part 5: Initial type testing It is based on performance requirements and test methods published in CEN, CENELEC, CIE (International Commission on Illumination) and ISO documents together with standards of the CEN member organizations. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
[Council Directive relating to construction products 89/106/EEC(CPD)] Fixed vertical road traffic signs, either as products or unassembled as kits, and components of signs: sheeting, (glass bead technology), supports, sign plates including lighting and fixings together with any combination of these components. Also included are transilluminated traffic bollards, delineator posts and fixed retroreflectors. This standard specifies which sorts of parameters and tests have to be taken into consideration within the FPC system, but leaves the precise test methods to be applied to be chosen depending on the manufacturer's facilities and production methods.
The precise parameters and methods will be found in the manufacturer's written FPC procedures.

The FPC system shall consist of written procedures (works manual), regular inspections and tests and/or assessments and the use of the results to control raw and other incoming materials or components, equipment, the production process and the product.
Records shall remain legible, readily identifiable and retrievable and reviewed for effectiveness at least once per year which shall be recorded.
This shall include testing of samples in accordance with a prescribed test plan defined in this European Standard. A FPC system conforming to the requirements of EN ISO 9001, and made specific to the requirements of this standard, is considered to satisfy the above requirements. In each factory, the manufacturer may delegate action to a person having the necessary authority to: a) monitor procedures to demonstrate conformity of the product at appropriate stages; b) identify and record any instance of nonconformity; c) monitor procedures to correct instances of nonconformity. All FPC systems shall achieve and maintain an adequate level of confidence that the product is in conformity with the requirements of this European Standard.
The results of inspections, tests or assessments requiring action shall be recorded, as shall any action taken.
The action to be taken when control values or criteria are not met shall be recorded and retained for the period specified in the manufacturer’s FPC procedures. Components having the necessary performance levels already demonstrated (e.g. by conformity to an appropriate European Standard or by CE marking in accordance with an appropriate ETA) may be considered to have the declared performance levels and do not require any further testing for the purposes of conformity with this European Standard, providing the component's performance is not detrimentally affected by the manufacturing process when it is incorporated into the product. In the case of new factories, new production lines or units, if the FPC system is temporarily unable to meet requirements that apply for normal production, as specified in this standard, the provisions of Table 1 shall apply to final quality testing.
This shall continue until the FPC system is capable of meeting the other requirements of this standard.
4.2 Production control system
4.2.1 The manufacturer shall establish procedures to ensure that the production tolerances allow the product performances to conform to the declared values, demonstrated by initial type testing.
The production control system shall at least include the necessary procedures for the: a) relevant constituents; b) controls and tests to be carried out during manufacture; c) verifications and tests carried out on finished products in accordance with the test regime specified in Clause 5; d) control of the necessary installations, equipment and trained personnel to execute the tests on the raw materials, the tests during production and the final quality control tests as specified in Clause 5;
NOTE 2 These methods would normally be direct methods.
In the case of certain characteristics, indirect test methods could be appropriate if a relationship can be established between the specific characteristic (the one to be verified) and another characteristic which is more practicable to measure such that conformity to this standard is demonstrated. Samples that have been subjected to destructive testing cannot be used.
Other samples may be returned to the production line.
