1 Modification to 5.5.3
Replace the existing text with the following one accepted by the Commission:
“National regulations on dangerous substances may require verification and declaration on release, and
sometimes content, when construction products covered by this standard are placed on those markets.
In the absence of European harmonized test methods, verification and declaration on release/content should
be done taking into account national provisions in the place of use.
NOTE An informative database covering European and national provisions on dangerous substances is available at the
Construction web site on EUROPA accessed through:
http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/construction/cpd-ds/ “
2 Modification to Clause 6
Replace the existing text in Clause 6 with the following:
"6 Assessment and verification of constancy of performance – AVCP
6.1 General
The compliance of fibre-cement slates and fittings with the requirements of this standard and with the
performances declared by the manufacturer in the DoP shall be demonstrated by:
- determination of the product type
- 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 conformity of the product with its declared performance(s).
6.2 Type testing
6.2.1 General
Type tests shall be carried out on products as delivered. If several formats or sizes of the same nominal
thickness are being produced from the same composition and by the same production method, type tests only
need to be carried out on one size of each nominal thickness.
All characteristics listed in Table 2 shall be subject to product type determination, except reaction to fire Class
A1 without testing and external fire performance "deemed to satisfy" products.
Product type determination shall be performed to demonstrate conformity to this standard. Tests previously
performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard (same product, same characteristic(s), test
method, sampling procedure, same attestation of conformity, etc.) may be taken into account. In addition,
product type determination shall be performed for the approval of a new product, or a fundamental change in
formulation or method of manufacture, the effects of which cannot be predicted on the basis of previous
experience.
Whenever a change occurs in the fibre-cement slate design, the raw material or supplier of components or the
production process, which would change significantly one or more of the characteristics, the type test shall be
performed for the appropriate characteristic(s).

6.3.4 Initial inspection of factory and of FPC
Initial inspection of factory and of FPC shall be carried out when the production process has been finalised
and in operation. The factory and FPC documentation shall be assessed to verify that the requirements of
6.3.2 and 6.3.3 are fulfilled.
During the inspection it shall be verified:
a) that all resources necessary for the achievement of the product characteristics included in 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 product type samples, for which compliance of the product
performance to the DoP 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.
6.3.5 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 process(s) for each product to determine if any changes have been
made since the last assessment or surveillance.
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 at appropriate time intervals.
The records of tests and measurements 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
the determination of the product type and that the correct actions have been taken for non-compliant products.
6.3.6 Procedure for modifications
If modifications are made to the product, production process or FPC system that could affect any of the
product characteristics declared according to this standard, then all the characteristics for which the
manufacturer declares performance, which may be affected by the modification, shall be subject to the
determination of the product type, as described in 6.2.1.
Where relevant, a re-assessment of the factory and of the FPC system shall be performed for those aspects,
which may be affected by the modification.
All assessments and their results shall be documented in a report.
6.4 Inspection of a consignment of finished products
Inspection of a consignment of finished products is not a requirement of this standard but if, in special cases, it
is demanded, it may be carried out in accordance with Annex A, ISO 2859-1 and ISO 3951-1.
