This shall include the following:
a) Inspection of samples taken at the factory in accordance with a prescribed test plan;
b) Initial inspection of the factory and of factory production control;
c) Continuous surveillance and assessment of the factory production control. 2) Initial type testing of the product; Note: There may be a need to involve a third party, with 1b, 1c, and/or 2, for the purpose of regulatory marking (see Annex ZA). 5.2 Initial type testing of the product (see 5.1, 2) 5.2.1 General All the product’s characteristics shall be initial type tested to verify they are in conformity with the requirements of this document. In addition, instead of performing any actual testing, initial type testing may make use of: – generally accepted and/or conventional and/or standardised values, in Clause 2 referenced standards, or in publications that are referred to in these standards; – standardised calculation methods and recognised calculation methods in Clause 2 referenced standards, or in publications that are referred to in these standards; – test report(s) on the basis of 5.2.1.2 when made available except for the characteristics listed in 5.2.2. – where components are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the component manufacturer, on the basis of conformity with other product standards, these characteristics need not be reassessed providing they remain unchanged by the manufacturing process; – release of dangerous substances may be assessed indirectly by controlling the content of the substance concerned; – durability may be assessed indirectly by controlling the production processes according to this document;



EN 12337-2:2004 (E) 12 Note 1: Products CE marked in accordance with appropriate harmonised European specifications may be presumed to have the performances stated with the CE marking. Note 2: There may be a need to involve a third party for the purpose of regulatory marking (see Annex ZA). When actual testing is required then the Initial Type Testing (ITT) shall be undertaken on a sample representative of the product taken from direct production or a prototype, any plant and/ or line. Whenever a change occurs in the raw material or the production process (subject to the definition of the family), which would change significantly one or more of the characteristics, the type tests shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristics. 5.2.1.1 Multiple lines/sites If a manufacturer operates more than one line and/or site, the following can reduce the requirement for multiple Initial Type Testing (ITT): i) The manufacturers’ technical file for a product shall specifically covers all sites and/or lines of the same manufacturer1, ii) The manufacturer shall establish a direct relationship between production control, initial type testing and on-going internal audit testing, iii) The manufacturer shall have a responsible individual designated to ensure product compliance based on:  The operation of a consistent Factory Production Control system on all applicable sites and/or lines,  The manufacturer having obtained evidence that shows the product to be consistent, with respect to both product characteristics and intended use characteristics,  The manufacturer has in place an internal auditing scheme, including product consistency. 5.2.1.2 Historic Data Tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this document (same product, same characteristic(s), same or more onerous test method, sampling method and attestation of conformity) may be taken into account. 5.2.2 Initial type testing of chemically strengthened soda lime silicate glass 5.2.2.1 General To establish if a product conforms to the definition of chemically strengthened soda lime silicate glass, initial type testing shall consist of mechanical strength measurement in accordance with EN 12337-1; 5.2.2.2 Test specimens The test specimens needed for the initial type test shall be processed from float glass according to EN 572-1 and EN 572-2 in accordance with this document.
