For the purposes of testing, valves may be grouped into families, where it is considered that the results for one or more characteristics from any product within the family are representative for the same characteristics for all products within that family. A product may be in more than one family for different characteristics. For type testing the following family groups apply. a) Size groups for valves as given in Table 1. SIST EN 15389:2008

6.2 Initial type testing 6.2.1 General Type tests shall be carried out on new products and whenever there is a change in design, in material and/or in production method, other than routine in-process adjustment and extension of the product range (see Table 3). A change of supplier of a material or stabiliser does not lead to a change in performance if the chemical composition remains the same. Material modifications within limits may be considered as a not change of material. The limits are as defined in the relevant material standards given in Annex B. For tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of the standards listed in Annex A, as applicable, (same product, same characteristic(s), same test method, same system of attestation, etc.) the results may be taken into account. All characteristics given in Clause 4 shall be subject to calculation and/or initial type testing. 6.2.2 Initial type test requirements The initial type testing of the characteristics according to Clause 4 shall be performed in accordance with the sampling procedure given in Table 3.

Test reports shall be kept by the manufacturer for at least 10 years after discontinuation of the product. 6.3 Factory production control 6.3.1 General The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain an FPC system to ensure that the products placed on the market conform to the stated performance 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. If the manufacturer has the component designed, manufactured, assembled, packed, processed and labelled by subcontracting, FPC of the original manufacturer may be taken into account. However, where subcontracting takes place, the manufacturer shall retain the overall control of the component and ensure that SIST EN 15389:2008



EN 15389:2008 (E) 11 he receives all the information that is necessary to fulfil his responsibilities according to this European Standard. The manufacturer who subcontracts all of his activities may in no circumstances discharge himself of his responsibilities to a subcontractor. 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 production control system documentation shall ensure a common understanding of conformity evaluation and enable the achievement of the required component characteristics 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 conformity of the component with its technical specifications. Its implementation may be achieved by controls and tests on raw materials and constituents, processes, manufacturing equipment and finished components, including material properties in components, and by making use of the results thus obtained. 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 manufacturers FPC procedures. The specifications of all incoming raw materials and components shall be documented, and the inspection scheme for ensuring their conformity shall be established. Manufacturers operating a quality system, which conforms to or is no less stringent than the relevant requirements of EN ISO 9001 and which is made specific to products covered by this European Standard shall be deemed to satisfy the FPC requirements of this European Standard. 6.3.2 FPC requirements The FPC of the characteristics according to Clause 4 shall be performed in accordance with the sampling procedure given in Table 4.

6.3.3 FPC system requirements 6.3.3.1 Personnel The responsibility, authority and the relationship between personnel that manages, performs or verifies work affecting product conformity, shall be defined. This applies in particular to personnel that need to initiate actions preventing product non-conformities from occurring, actions in case of non-conformities and to identify and register product conformity problems. Personnel performing work affecting product conformity shall be competent on the basis of appropriate education, training, skills and experience for which records shall be maintained. 6.3.3.2 Equipment All weighing, measuring and testing equipment necessary to achieve, or produce evidence of, conformity shall be calibrated or verified and regularly inspected according to documented procedures, frequencies and criteria. Control of monitoring and measuring devices shall comply with the appropriate clause of EN ISO 9001:2000. SIST EN 15389:2008



EN 15389:2008 (E) 13 All equipment used in the manufacturing process shall be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure use, wear or failure do 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. 6.3.3.3 Design process The factory production control system shall document the various stages in the design of the products, identify the checking procedure and those individuals responsible for all stages of design. During the design process itself, a record shall be kept of all checks, their results, and any corrective actions taken. This record shall be sufficiently detailed and accurate to demonstrate that all stages of the design phase, and all checks, have been carried out satisfactorily. Compliance with EN ISO 9001:2000, 7.3 shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this sub-clause. 6.3.3.4 Raw materials and components The specifications of all incoming raw materials and components shall be documented, as shall the inspection scheme for ensuring their conformity. The verification of conformity of the raw material with the specification shall be in accordance with EN ISO 9001:2000, 7.4.3. 6.3.3.5 In-process control The manufacturer shall plan and carry out production under controlled conditions.
