SIST EN 16236:2013
EN 16236:2013 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard has been written as the system for the evaluation of conformity of aggregates. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the aggregate product standards: EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139, EN 13242, EN 13383-1 and EN 13450 and is called up by these standards. Evaluation of conformity comprises initial type testing (ITT) and factory production control (FPC).
This standard has been compiled from the ITT and FPC clauses, annexes and tables previously found in the aggregate product standards. It does not introduce any new requirements compared with the original, 2002 versions of those standards. A new, separate Evaluation of Conformity standard is currently in preparation, which will provide more detailed ITT procedures and clear, detailed requirements for product conformity (e.g. statistical conformity criteria, number of samples, tolerances, time limits of validity etc). For the time being, when assessing aggregates within a system of factory production control, at least 90% of gradings taken on different batches within a maximum period of 6 months should fall within the limits specified in the product standards for tolerances on suppliers’ typical declared gradings. The initial type testing and factory production control procedures are designed to be applied to European Standards for aggregates. When the appropriate "conformity" clauses are applied, it forms part of the system for attestation of conformity as required by the Construction Products Directive. It provides the minimum level of ITT and FPC for CE Marking. The testing procedures, using the reference test methods, have the function of providing assurance that a particular aggregate product complies with each of the selected specified requirements in the product standard. The type testing procedure is designed to be applied to all harmonised elements of European Harmonised Standards for aggregates. The system can also be extended to non-harmonised elements. The factory production control system describes control of the sourcing and processing of the aggregate combined with routine sampling and testing to provide ongoing assurance that the aggregates product continues to conform to those properties determined through ITT. Testing within FPC may use either the standard reference tests called up by the aggregate product standards or other test procedures which have been shown to correlate with those tests. For commercial and/or contractual reasons, the manufacturer can choose to perform more testing and inspection than the minimum specified. SIST EN 16236:2013

All samples used for initial type testing shall be representative of the material in question and shall be taken in accordance with EN 932-1 or in the case of armourstone EN 13383-2. The results of the initial type tests shall be documented as the starting point of the factory production control for that material. This shall include the data from the test reports from the test methods associated with all the requirements that have been verified. The documentation shall specifically include the identification of any components likely to emit radiation above normal background levels and, any components likely to release polyaromatic hydrocarbons or other dangerous substances.

The records held by the manufacturer shall indicate what quality control procedures are in operation during the production of the aggregate.
