5 Evaluation of conformity 5.1 General The conformity of PVC-U profiles and PVC-UE profiles 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. For the purposes of initial type testing, PVC-U profiles and PVC-UE profiles may be grouped into families, where it is considered that the result, for the selected characteristic(s), from testing any one product within the family is representative for all other products within that family.
Products produced as one-offs, prototypes and products produced in very low quantities shall be covered by 5.4. 5.2 Initial type testing 5.2.1 General The initial type testing of PVC-U profiles and PVC-UE profiles shall be performed to show conformity with this standard. Tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard (same product, characteristic(s), test method, sampling procedure, system of attestation of conformity, etc.) may be taken into account. In addition, initial type testing shall be performed at the beginning of the production of a new type of PVC-U profiles and PVC-UE profiles (unless a member of the same family) or at the beginning of a new method of production (where this may affect the stated characteristics). All characteristics of PVC-U profiles and PVC-UE profiles in Clause 4 for which declared values are given shall be subject to initial type testing. Whenever a change occurs in the PVC-U profiles and PVC-UE profiles, the compound or supplier of the components, or the production process (subject to the definition of a family), which would change significantly one or more of the characteristics, the initial type testing shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s). 5.2.2 Sampling, testing and conformity criteria PVC-U profiles and PVC-UE profiles shall be selected at random from normal production in such a manner that they are representative of normal production. For a new PVC-U profile or PVC-UE profile or a new method of their production it shall be as in 5.4.
The number of specimens to be tested (or assessed) shall be in accordance with Table 2 or Table 3, as applicable. SIST EN 13245-2:2008

EN 13245-2:2008 (E) 11 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 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 products, equipment, the production process and the product. If the manufacturer has the product designed, manufactured, 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 product and ensure that 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 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 conformity of the product with this European Standard. Its implementation may be achieved by controls and tests on measuring equipment, raw materials and constituents, processes, machines and manufacturing equipment and finished products, including material properties in products, and by making use of the results thus obtained. The FPC system shall fulfil the requirements as described in the following clauses of EN ISO 9001:2000, where applicable: 4.2 except 4.2.1 a), 5.1 e), 5.5.1, 5.5.2, Clause 6, 7.1 except 7.1 a), 7.2.3 c), 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 8.2.3, 8.2.4, 8.3, 8.5.2. The FPC system may be part of a Quality Management system, e.g. in accordance with EN ISO 9001:2000. 5.3.2 FPC requirements for all manufacturers
5.3.2.1 Product specific requirements The FPC system shall: address this European Standard; and ensure that the products placed on the market conform with the stated performance characteristics. 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 manufacturer’s FPC procedures. SIST EN 13245-2:2008

This also applies where the manufacturer of the profiles is also the producer of the raw materials.
5.3.2.3 Product testing and evaluation
The procedures shall be established to ensure that the declared values of all of the characteristics are maintained. The product characteristics, and the means of control, shall be:
a) reaction to fire: routine control of reaction to fire classification shall be on the basis of checks on compound to ensure that it remains within the requirements of Table 4 and tests on the finished product of a type and a frequency to be defined and documented, to ensure that the finished product itself remains the same as that subjected to initial type testing; b) mechanical resistance for external products only: once/production batch and at least once/48 h of production time, test according to 4.3.2 or 4.3.3 shall be performed; c) durability:
1) of products for internal use: once/production batch and at least once/48 h of production time, test according to 4.4.1.1 or 4.4.1.2 shall be performed; 2) of products for external use: each compound shall be checked in accordance with Table 4 once/delivery and the manufacturing process of the product shall be checked once/production batch and a
