EN 15814:2011+A1:2012 (E) 8 ! 5 Evaluation of conformity 5.1 General The compliance of PMBC with the requirements of this standard and with the declared values (including classes) shall be demonstrated by:  Initial Type Testing;  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 product. 5.2 Initial Type Testing – Type Testing 5.2.1 General Initial Type Testing and Type Testing shall be performed to demonstrate compliance with this European standard. All essential characteristics for which the manufacturer declares performances, are subject to Initial Type Testing. In addition, the need to perform Type Tests applies to all other characteristics included in a standard when the manufacturer claims compliance, unless the standard gives provisions (e.g. use of previously existing data, CWFT and conventionally accepted performance) for declaring performances without performing tests. Tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard, may be taken into account provided that they were made to the same or a more rigorous test method, under the same system of attestation of conformity on the same product or products of similar design, construction and functionality, such that the results are applicable to the product in question. NOTE 1 Same system of attestation of conformity means testing by an independent third party (only for products covered by attestation of conformity system 1 and 3), under the responsibility of a product certification body (only for products covered by attestation of conformity system 1). See Annex ZA.  For the purposes of testing, the manufacturer's products may be grouped into families, where it is considered that the results for one or more characteristics from any one product within the family are representative for that same characteristics for all products within that same family (a product may be in different families for different characteristics). NOTE 2 Products may be in different families for different characteristics. NOTE 3 Reference to the test method standards should be made to allow the selection of a suitable representative sample. In addition, Type Tests or Initial Type Testing shall be performed for all characteristics included in the standard for which the manufacturer declares performances:  at the beginning of the production of a new or modified PMBC (unless a member of the same family), or  at the beginning of a new or modified method of production (where this may affect the stated properties); or  they shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s), whenever a change occurs in the PMBC design, in the raw material or in the supplier of the components, or in the production process (subject to the definition of a family), which would affect significantly one or more of the characteristics. SIST EN 15814:2011+A1:2012



EN 15814:2011+A1:2012 (E) 9 Where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the component manufacturer, on the basis of compliance with other product standards, these characteristics need not be re-assessed. The specifications of these components shall be documented, as shall be included in the inspection scheme for ensuring their compliance. Products marked in accordance with appropriate harmonised European specifications may be presumed to have the performances stated with the marking, although this does not replace the responsibility on the PMBC designer to ensure that the PMBC as a whole is correctly designed and its component products have the necessary performance values to meet the design. 5.2.2 Test reports All Type Tests, and/or Initial Type Tests and their results shall be documented in test reports. All test reports shall be retained by the manufacturer for at least 10 years after the last date of production of the PMBC to which they relate. 5.3 Factory production control (FPC) 5.3.1 General The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain an FPC system to ensure that the products placed on the market comply with the declared performance of the 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 production control system documentation shall ensure a common understanding of conformity evaluation and enable the achievement of the required product 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 compliance of the product with this European Standard. 5.3.2 Requirements 5.3.2.1 General The manufacturer is responsible for organizing the effective implementation of the FPC system. 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 conformity, shall be defined. This applies in particular to personnel that needs 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. In each factory the manufacturer may delegate the action to a person having the necessary authority to:  identify procedures to demonstrate conformity of the product at appropriate stages;  identify and record any instance of non-conformity;  identify procedures to correct instances of non-conformity. 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 conformity of the product.

EN 15814:2011+A1:2012 (E) 10 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-conformity. Where subcontracting takes place, the manufacturer shall retain the overall control of the product and ensure that he receives all the information that is necessary to fulfill his responsibilities according to this European Standard. If the manufacturer has part of the product designed, manufactured, assembled, packed, processed and/or labeled by subcontracting, the FPC of the subcontractor may be taken into account, where appropriate for the product in question. The manufacturer who subcontracts all of his activities may in no circumstances pass these responsibilities on to a subcontractor. NOTE Manufacturers having an FPC system, which complies with EN ISO 9000 series standard and which addresses the requirements of this European Standard are recognized as satisfying the FPC requirements of the Council Directive 89/106/EEC. 5.3.2.2 Equipment 5.3.2.2.1 Testing All weighing, measuring and testing equipment shall be calibrated and regularly inspected according to documented procedures, frequencies and criteria. 5.3.2.2.2 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. 5.3.2.3 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 attestation of conformity level of the component shall be that given in the appropriate harmonised technical specification for that component. 5.3.2.4 Design process The factory production control system shall document the various stages in the design of 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. SIST EN 15814:2011+A1:2012

The FPC system shall include a product specific FPC, which identifies procedures to demonstrate compliance of the product at appropriate stages, i.e.: a) the controls and tests to be carried out prior to and/or during manufacture according to a frequency laid down in the FPC test plan, and/or b) the verifications and tests to be carried out on finished products according to a frequency laid down in the FPC test plan on basis of Table 2. If the manufacturer uses only finished products, the operations under b) shall lead to an equivalent level of compliance of the product as if FPC had been carried out during the production. If the manufacturer carries out parts of the production himself, the operations under b) may be reduced and partly replaced by operations under a). Generally, the more parts of the production that are carried out by the manufacturer, the more operations under b) may be replaced by operations under a). In any case the operation shall lead to an equivalent level of compliance of the product as if FPC had been carried out during the production. NOTE Depending on the specific case, it can be necessary to carry out the operations referred to under a) and b), only the operations under a) or only those under b). The operations under a) refer to the intermediate states of the product as on manufacturing machines and their adjustment, and measuring equipment etc. These controls and tests and their frequency shall be chosen based on product type and composition, the manufacturing process and its complexity, the sensitivity of product features to variations in manufacturing parameters etc. The manufacturer shall establish and maintain records that provide evidence that the production has been sampled and tested. These records shall show clearly whether the production has satisfied the defined acceptance criteria and shall be available for at least three years. These records shall be available for inspection. Where the product fails to satisfy the acceptance measures, the provisions for non-complying products shall apply, the necessary corrective action shall immediately be taken and the products or batches not complying shall be isolated and properly identified. Once the fault has been corrected, the test or verification in question shall be repeated. SIST EN 15814:2011+A1:2012



EN 15814:2011+A1:2012 (E) 13 The results of controls and tests shall be properly recorded. The product description, date of manufacture, test method adopted, test results and acceptance criteria shall be entered in the records under the signature of the person responsible for the control/test. With regard to any control result not meeting the requirements of this European Standard, the corrective measures taken to rectify the situation (e.g. a further test carried out, modification of manufacturing process, throwing away or putting right of product) shall be indicated in the records. Individual products or batches of products and the related manufacturing documentation shall be completely identifiable and retraceable. 5.3.4 Initial inspection of factory and of FPC
Initial inspection of FPC shall be carried out when the production process has been finalized and in operation. The factory and FPC documentation shall be assessed to verify that the requirements of clause 5.3.2 and 5.3.3 are fulfilled. During the inspection it shall be verified: a) that all resources necessary for the achievement of the product characteristics required by this European Standard are in place and correctly implemented, and b) that the FPC-procedures in accordance with the FPC documentation are followed in practice, and c) that the product complies with the Initial Type Testing/Type Testing samples, for which compliance with this European Standard has been verified. All locations where final assembly or at least final testing of the relevant product is performed, shall be assessed to verify that the above conditions a) to c) are in place and implemented. If the FPC system covers more than one product, production line or production process, and it is verified that the general requirements are fulfilled when assessing one product, production line or production process, then the assessment of the general requirements does not need to be repeated when assessing the FPC for another product, production line or production process. All assessments and their results shall be documented in the initial inspection report. 5.3.5 Continuous surveillance of FPC
Surveillance of the FPC shall be undertaken once per year. The surveillance of the FPC shall include a review of the FPC test plan(s) and production processes(s) for each product to determine if any changes have been made since the last assessment or surveillance. The significance of any changes shall be assessed. Checks shall be made to ensure that the test plans are still correctly implemented and that the production equipment is still correctly maintained and calibrated. The records of tests and measurement made during the production process and to finished products shall be reviewed to ensure that the values obtained still correspond with those values for the samples submitted to Initial Type Testing/Type Testing and that the correct actions have been taken for non-compliant devices. 5.3.6 Procedure for modifications If modifications are made to the product, production process or FPC system that could affect any of the product characteristics required by this standard, then all the characteristics
