as elements for determining the carbon equivalent value shall be reported.
6 Assessment and verification of constancy of performance
6.1 General
The compliance of a hot rolled product of structural steels with the requirements of this standard and with the
performance 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
The determination of the product type 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 hot rolled product of structural steels (unless a
member of the same product range), or
at the beginning of a new or modified method of production (where this may affect the stated properties),
or it shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s), whenever a change occurs in the hot rolled
product of structural steel design, in the raw material, or in the method of production process (subject to
the definition of a family), which would affect significantly one or more of the characteristics.
Assessment 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 AVCP
system on the same product or products of similar design, construction and functionality, such that the results
are applicable to the product in question.
9
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 10025-1:2014
prEN 10025-1:2014 (E)
For the purposes of assessment, 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 those same characteristics for all products within that same family.
NOTE 1 Products may be grouped in different families for different characteristics.
NOTE 2 Reference to the assessment method standards should be made to allow the selection of a suitable
representative sample.
Products bearing regulatory marking in accordance with appropriate harmonized European specifications may
be presumed to have the performances declared in the DoP, although this does not replace the responsibility
on the hot rolled product of structural steel manufacturer to ensure that the hot rolled product of structural
steel as a whole is correctly manufactured.
6.2.2 Test samples, testing and compliance criteria
The number of samples of hot rolled products of structural steel to be tested/assessed shall be in accordance
with Table 1.
Table 1 — Number of samples to be tested and compliance criteria
Characteristics Requirements Assessment method No. of samples Compliance criteria
Tolerances on 4.2 5.1 30 (6 products from 4.2
dimensions and each of 5 different

6.2.3 Test report
The results of determination of the product type 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 hot rolled products of
structural steels to which they relate.

6.3 Factory production control (FPC)
6.3.1 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 essential 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 factory production control system documentation shall ensure a common understanding of the evaluation
of the constancy of performance and enable the achievement of the required product performances 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 the declared performances of the essential characteristics.
6.3.2 Requirements
6.3.2.1 General
The manufacturer is responsible for organizing the effective implementation of the FPC system in line with the
content of this product standard. 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 constancy, shall be defined. This applies in particular to personnel that need to initiate
actions preventing product non-constancies from occurring, actions in case of non-constancies and to identify
and register product constancy problems.
Personnel performing work affecting the constancy of performance of the product 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 constancy of performance of the product at appropriate stages;
identify and record any instance of non-constancy;
identify procedures to correct instances of non-constancy.
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 constancy of performance
of the product. 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-constancy of
performance.

prEN 10025-1:2014 (E)
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.
If the manufacturer has part of the product designed, manufactured, assembled, packed, processed and/or
labelled by subcontracting, the FPC of the subcontractor may be taken into account, where appropriate for the
