Foreword
This document (EN 492:2012/FprA1:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 128 “Roof
covering products for discontinuous laying and products for wall cladding”, the secretariat of which is held by
NBN.
This document is currently submitted to the Unique Acceptance procedure.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
This amendment has been prepared taking into account the adoption of the Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of
the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 and replaces Council Directive 89/106/EEC.
1 Modification to 5.5.3
Replace the existing text with the following one accepted by the Commission:
“National regulations on dangerous substances may require verification and declaration on release, and
sometimes content, when construction products covered by this standard are placed on those markets.
In the absence of European harmonized test methods, verification and declaration on release/content should
be done taking into account national provisions in the place of use.
NOTE An informative database covering European and national provisions on dangerous substances is available at the
Construction web site on EUROPA accessed through:
http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/construction/cpd-ds/ “
2 Modification to Clause 6
Replace the existing text in Clause 6 with the following:
"6 Assessment and verification of constancy of performance – AVCP
6.1 General
The compliance of fibre-cement slates and fittings with the requirements of this standard and with the
performances declared by the manufacturer in the DoP shall be demonstrated by:
- determination of the product type
- factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment.
The manufacturer shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary means to take
responsibility for the conformity of the product with its declared performance(s).
6.2 Type testing
6.2.1 General
Type tests shall be carried out on products as delivered. If several formats or sizes of the same nominal
thickness are being produced from the same composition and by the same production method, type tests only
need to be carried out on one size of each nominal thickness.
All characteristics listed in Table 2 shall be subject to product type determination, except reaction to fire Class
A1 without testing and external fire performance "deemed to satisfy" products.
Product type determination shall be performed to demonstrate conformity to this standard. Tests previously
performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard (same product, same characteristic(s), test
method, sampling procedure, same attestation of conformity, etc.) may be taken into account. In addition,
product type determination shall be performed for the approval of a new product, or a fundamental change in
formulation or method of manufacture, the effects of which cannot be predicted on the basis of previous
experience.
Whenever a change occurs in the fibre-cement slate design, the raw material or supplier of components or the
production process, which would change significantly one or more of the characteristics, the type test shall be
performed for the appropriate characteristic(s).
6.2.2 Test samples, testing and compliance criteria
The number of samples of fibre-cement slates to be tested / assessed shall be in accordance with Table 2 of
this standard.

6.2.3 Test reports
The results of the determination of the product type shall be documented in the test reports. All test reports
shall be retained by the manufacturer for at least 10 years after the last date of production of the fibre-cement
slates and fittings to which they relate.
6.3 Factory production control (FPC)
6.3.1 General
The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain a FPC system to ensure that the products placed on
the market comply with the declared performance of the essential characteristics.
The FPC system shall consist of procedures, 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.
All the elements, requirements and provisions adopted by the manufacturer shall be documented in a
systematic manner in the form of written policies and procedures.
This factory production control system documentation shall ensure a common understanding of the evaluation
of the constancy of performance and enable the achievement of the required product performances and the
effective operation of the production control system to be checked. Factory production control therefore brings
together operational techniques and all measures allowing maintenance and control of the compliance of the
product with the declared performances of the essential characteristics.
6.3.2 Requirements
6.3.2.1 General
The manufacturer is responsible for organizing the effective implementation of the FPC system in line with the
content of this product standard. Tasks and responsibilities in the production control organization shall be
documented and this documentation shall be kept up-to-date.
The responsibility, authority and the relationship between personnel that manages, performs or verifies work
affecting product constancy, shall be defined. This applies in particular to personnel that need to initiate
actions preventing product non-constancies from occurring, actions in case of non-constancies and to identify
and register product constancy problems.
Personnel performing work affecting the constancy of performance of the product shall be competent on the
basis of appropriate education, training, skills and experience for which records shall be maintained.
In each factory the manufacturer may delegate the action to a person having the necessary authority to:
- identify procedures to demonstrate constancy of performance of the product at appropriate stages;
- identify and record any instance of non-constancy;
- identify procedures to correct instances of non-constancy.
The manufacturer shall draw up and keep up-to-date documents defining the factory production control. The
manufacturer's documentation and procedures should be appropriate to the product and manufacturing
process. The FPC system should achieve an appropriate level of confidence in the constancy of performance
of the product. This involves:
a) the preparation of documented procedures and instructions relating to factory production control
operations, in accordance with the requirements of the technical specification to which reference is made;
b) the effective implementation of these procedures and instructions;
c) the recording of these operations and their results;
d) the use of these results to correct any deviations, repair the effects of such deviations, treat any resulting
instances of non-conformity and, if necessary, revise the FPC to rectify the cause of non-constancy of
performance.
NOTE Manufacturers having an FPC system, which complies with EN ISO 9001 and which addresses the provisions of
the present European Standard are considered as satisfying the FPC requirements of the Regulation (EU) No 305/2011.
6.3.2.2 Equipment
6.3.2.2.1 Testing
All weighing, measuring and testing equipment shall be calibrated and regularly inspected according to
documented procedures, frequencies and criteria.
6.3.2.2.2 Manufacturing
All equipment used in the manufacturing process shall be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure use,
wear or failure does not cause inconsistency in the manufacturing process. Inspections and maintenance shall
be carried out and recorded in accordance with the manufacturer’s written procedures and the records
retained for the period defined in the manufacturer's FPC procedures.
6.3.2.3 Raw materials and components
The specifications of all incoming raw materials and components shall be documented, as shall the inspection
scheme for ensuring their compliance. In case supplied kit components are used, the constancy of
performance system of the component shall be that given in the appropriate harmonized technical
specification for that component.
6.3.2.4 Traceability and marking
Fibre-cement slates and fittings shall be identifiable and traceable with regard to their production origin. The
manufacturer shall have written procedures ensuring that processes related to affixing traceability codes
and/or markings are inspected regularly.
6.3.2.5 Controls during manufacturing process
The manufacturer shall plan and carry out production under controlled conditions.
6.3.2.6 Product testing and evaluation
The manufacturer shall establish procedures to ensure that the stated values of the characteristics he
declares are maintained. The characteristics, and the means of control, for fibre-cement slates and fittings are
detailed in Table 3.
