Foreword
This European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 88 "Thermal insulating
materials and products", the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2001, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by March 2003.
This European Standard 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).
It supports a series of product standards for thermal insulating materials and products, which are necessary
for the demonstration of compliance with the mandate derived from the Construction Products Directive
89/106/EEC.
This European Standard contains five informative annexes:
Annex A Certification of conformity (not for CE marking purposes)
Annex B Certification of conformity (for products of reaction to fire classes under system 1)
Annex C Declaration of conformity by the manufacturer (for the performance requirements under
system 3)
Annex D Declaration of conformity by the manufacturer (for products of reaction to fire classes
under system 4)
Annex E Guidance on the use of annex(es)
Evaluation of conformity is necessary for products in order to provide support for CE marking and for
voluntary certification. The guidance contained in annex ZA of the product standards will determine which
of the above annexes shall be used for CE marking.
Annex E describes how to use the anexes together with the mainbody of this standard to fullfill the
requirements to the certification and/or declaration of conformity for a product.
Although the annexes are informative in this standard, their use by the manufacturer will require that they
assume a normative status. When an annex is used the requirements in the annex shall be followed, as
given in the text.
This standard applies to factory made products for buildings, factory made products for building equipment
and industrial installations, in-situ products for buildings, in-situ products for building equipment and
industrial installations and to external thermal insulation composite systems.
No existing European Standard is superseded.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the procedures and the criteria for the evaluation of the conformity of a
thermal insulating product with the relevant European product specification.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed
hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply
to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references
the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).
Not applicable
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this standard, the following terms and definitions apply:
3.1
product
item or good produced under conditions which are presumed uniform and offered for sale under the same
trade name
3.2
factory production control
the permanent, internal control of production exercised either by the manufacturer or by his agent on the
responsibility of the manufacturer himself
NOTE Factory production control comprises operational techniques and all measures necessary to regulate and
maintain the conformity of the product to the requirements of the relevant product standard.
3.3
third party
an approved organisation or body which may provide independent verification or approval
3.4
witness testing
test performed by the manufacturer at his own facilities with the representative of the third party present
4 General requirements
The evaluation of conformity involves either a manufacturer or a manufacturer in conjunction with a third
party. The procedure is given either in the relevant product standard or agreed between parties; it shall
include at least those tasks given in clause 5. The tasks for the third party and/or the manufacturer shall be
carried out in accordance with the requirements of clause 7 of the product standard, which makes
reference to this standard and one or more of the annexes B, C or D for the purposes of CE marking.
Annex A is included for the purposes of voluntary product certification.
The content of clause 5 will also be met by supplementing the provisions of EN ISO 9001 with the
requirements of this standard.
Products, which differ only in aspects that do not influence the properties required in the relevant product
standard, may be collected into product groups.
Page 5
Providing that a product within the group meets the requirements of the product standard then all products
within the same group shall be deemed to comply with the product standard. If the same product fails to
comply with the product standard then the whole group shall be assumed to have failed to comply with the
product standard.
Products, which differ only with regard to some properties, may be grouped together by their common
properties. Providing that a product within a defined group meets the requirements of the product standard,
then all products within this group shall be deemed to comply with the product standard for the properties
concerned. The properties outside this(these) common group(s) shall be tested product by product.
5 Requirements for factory production control - Tasks for the
manufacturer
This clause specifies the requirements for factory production control that shall be fulfilled by the manufac-
turer for each factory
5.1 Organisation
5.1.1 General
Factory production control shall be operated according to a documented system that shall be given in a
quality manual.
5.1.2 Responsibility and authority
The responsibility, authority and the interrelationships between all personnel who manage, perform, or
verify work affecting quality, shall be defined. This applies particularly to personnel who need the
organisational freedom and authority to
a) initiate action to prevent the occurrence of product nonconformity;
b) identify and record any product quality problems.
5.1.3 Management representative for factory production control
At every place of production, a representative, with the appropriate knowledge and production experience,
shall be appointed by the manufacturer and given responsibility for managing and supervising factory
production control procedures and for ensuring that the requirements of this standard are implemented and
maintained.
5.1.4 Management review
Management shall review at appropriate intervals the factory production control system to ensure its
continuing suitability and effectiveness. Records of such reviews shall be maintained.

5.2 Quality manual
The manufacturer's documentation and procedures shall be relevant to the production and process control
used during manufacture of the product, and shall provide the following details in a quality manual:
a) the quality aims and the organizational structure, responsibilities and authority of the management with
regard to product conformity;
b) the procedures for specifying and verifying the raw materials and other constituent materials;
c) the manufacturer's production control and other techniques, processes and systematic actions that will
be used;
d) the inspections and tests to be carried out before, during and after manufacture, together with their
frequency (see 5.3) and possible retest procedures (see 5.4);
e) the procedures for handling, storage, packaging, marking and labelling the product;
