Foreword
This document (EN 16153:2013/FprA1:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 128 “Roof
covering products for discontinuous laying and products for wall cladding”, the secretariat of which is held by
NBN.
This document is currently submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
Note: Due to fact that the Framework Partnership Agreement between the Commission and CEN &
CENELEC is not signed yet, there are currently no New Approach Consultants in place for 2014.
Therefore the provisions of CEN-CENELEC Guide 15 cannot be met.
This shall not prevent the processing of draft standards nor the offering of harmonized standards to the
Commission. In particular, draft standards can be sent to vote without Consultant assessment.
This note will be removed from the Foreword of the finalized publication.

6.1 General
The compliance of light transmitting flat multiwall PC sheets with the requirements of this document and with
the stated values (including classes) shall be demonstrated by:
product type determination,
factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment.
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).

6.2 Product type determination
Product type determination (PTD) shall be performed to show conformity with this document. Tests previously
performed in accordance with the provisions of this document (same product, same characteristic(s), test
method, sampling procedure, system of attestation of conformity, etc.) may be taken into account.
The characteristics subjected to PTD are listed in Table 8.
Whenever a change occurs in the product design, the raw material 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 type tests shall be repeated for the appropriate characteristic(s).
All products tested shall be representative of the manufacturer's normal production.
Where raw materials are used whose characteristics have already been determined, by the raw material
manufacturer, on the basis of conformity with this or other product standards, these characteristics need not
be reassessed provided that the raw materials' performance or method of assessment remain the same, that
the characteristics of the raw material are suitable for the intended end use of the finished product, and insofar
as the manufacturing process does not have a detrimental affect on the determined characteristics.

When a sheet requires a new PTD as a result of an enforced raw material change by the supplier, and that
change affects the raw material composition or grade, the sheet manufacturer may, at his own risk, benefit
from a presumption of conformity to the existing PTD for defined characteristic(s). These shall be durability –
variation of yellowness index and light transmission, because these are the subject of long term testing
procedures. The presumption of conformity shall be subject to the following:
a) the raw material supplier's written confirmation that the new composition or grade is no less
durable than the previous grade or composition (only if this information is available),
or
if the new material is considered less durable, the manufacturer shall estimate the new durability
based upon relevant information from the material supplier (only if this information is available),
b) the new PTD is commenced at the earliest practical time,

c) if the new PTD indicates a reduced performance than that declared by the manufacturer, the
manufacturer shall have suitable traceability procedures and advise the purchaser accordingly,
d) the presumption of conformity shall cease when the period of time has elapsed that would permit
the test to provide comparable results with the PTD.
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 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 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 component 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 component with its technical specifications. Its
implementation may be achieved by controls and tests on measuring equipment, raw materials and
constituents, processes, machines and manufacturing equipment and finished components, including material
properties in components, and by making use of the results thus obtained.
6.3.2 General requirements
Manufacturers having an FPC system, which complies with EN ISO 9001 [5] standard and which addresses
the requirements of this European Standard are recognized as satisfying the FPC requirements.
6.3.3 FPC requirements for all manufacturers
6.3.3.1 Product specific requirements
The FPC system shall:
address this document; 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.
6.3.3.2 Raw materials and components
The specifications of all incoming raw materials and components shall be documented, and the inspection
scheme for ensuring their conformity shall be in accordance with Table 9.

6.4 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 6.3.2 and 6.3.3 are
fulfilled.
During the inspection it shall be verified:

SIST EN 16153:2013/kFprA1:2014
EN 16153:2013/FprA1:2014 (E)
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.
6.5 Continuous surveillance of FPC
Surveillance of the FPC shall be undertaken. 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
type testing and that the correct actions have been taken for non-compliant devices."
