This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 25 July 2005 for provisional application.
The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia,
Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Foreword
This Technical Specification (CEN/TS 15176:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 191
“Fixed firefighting systems”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this CEN Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
and United Kingdom.
Introduction
The product standards, which have been prepared by CEN/TC 191 under a mandate given to CEN by the
European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and support essential requirements of the CPD,
have been prepared with generalised clauses covering evaluation of conformity. However, there is a concern that,
whilst the intention of both CEN and CEN/TC 191 has been to develop standards, which will ensure a unified
system (a "level playing field") for vital fixed firefighting system products, this may not be achieved in practice.
This concern arises due to the potential for differing practices being adopted by the various notified bodies or by
different manufacturers.
As it remains the responsibility of CEN/TC 191 to set down and produce all technical requirements, the
Committee recognised that it was their responsibility to provide the essential clarification and definition of the
evaluation procedures relevant and appropriate to fixed firefighting systems product standards.
It was therefore proposed that CEN/TC 191 raise a new work item to produce a Technical Specification on the
evaluation of conformity for fixed firefighting systems products, which can be used in conjunction with any and all
of the fixed firefighting systems product standards.
This Technical Specification reflects current industry practices and provides clear guidance so that notified bodies
are able to follow a common, consistent regime in dealing with evaluation and attestation of conformity.
The Technical Specification is intended to be used by notified bodies involved with fixed firefighting systems
products, in conjunction with each product standard. This will ensure a consistent quality and confidence level
throughout the European Union, regardless of which body carries out the attestation.
The Technical Specification will be a tool for use by the Notified Bodies Group, SG07, although prepared by the
CEN committee responsible for preparing technical standards, and will be specific and unique to fixed firefighting
systems products. The principles may, however, be used by other CEN Technical Committees, such as CEN/TC
72 and CEN/TC 192.
1 Scope
This Technical Specification describes the evaluation of conformity procedures in accordance with European
Standards in the field of fixed firefighting systems and should be read in conjunction with the relevant clauses of
these standards.
This Technical Specification is only applicable to European Standards which are prepared under a mandate
given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and support essential
requirements of the EU Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC).
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
EN ISO 9001:2000, Quality management systems – Requirements (ISO 9001:2000).
3 Evaluation of conformity
3.1 General
The compliance of the component with the requirements of this Technical Specification shall be demonstrated
by:
initial type testing,
factory production control by the manufacturer.
NOTE The manufacturer is a natural or legal person, who places the component on the market under his own name.
Normally, the manufacturer designs and manufactures the component himself. As a first alternative, he may have it
designed, manufactured, assembled, packed, processed or labelled by subcontracting. As a second alternative he may
assemble, pack, process, or label ready-made products.
The manufacturer shall ensure:
that the initial type testing in accordance with this Technical Specification is initiated and carried out;
(where relevant, under the control of a product certification body); and
that the component continuously complies with the initial type testing samples, for which compliance with
this Technical Specification has been verified.
He shall always retain the overall control and shall have the necessary competence to take the responsibility
for the component.
The manufacturer shall be fully responsible for the conformity of that component to all relevant regulatory
requirements. However, where the manufacturer uses components already shown to conform to those
requirements relevant for that component (e.g. by CE marking) the manufacturer is not required to repeat the
evaluation, which led to such conformity. Where the manufacturer uses components not already shown to
conform, it is his responsibility to undertake the necessary evaluation to show conformity.
3.2 Initial type testing
3.2.1 Initial type testing shall be performed to demonstrate conformity with this Technical Specification.
All characteristics given in the Requirements clauses (except Documentation sub-clauses) shall be subject to
this initial type testing, except as described in 3.2.3 to 3.2.5.
3.2.2 In the case of modification of the component or of the method of production (where these may affect
the stated properties), initial type testing shall be performed. All characteristics given in the Requirements
clauses (except Documentation sub-clauses), which may be changed by the modification, shall be subject to
this initial type testing, except as described in 3.2.3 to 3.2.5.
3.2.3 Tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this standard may be taken into
account providing that they were made to the same or a more rigorous test method under the same system of
attestation of conformity on the same component or components of similar design, construction and
functionality, such that the results are applicable to the component in question.
NOTE Same system of attestation of conformity means testing by an ind
