This European Standard shall be given the status of a national
15、standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2005. This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the Europea
16、n Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). This document consists of the following Parts under the general title: Road vertical signs - Part 1 : Variable message traffic signs Part 1: Product standard - Part 2 : Variable message traffic signs Part 2: Initial ty
17、pe testing - Part 3 : (this part) Variable message traffic signs Part 3: Factory production control It derives from performance requirements and test methods published in CEN, CENELEC, CIE and ISO documents together with standards of the CEN member organisations. According to the CEN/CENELEC Interna
18、l Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherla

Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Fri Aug 05 06:59:37 BST 2005, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIEN 12966-3:2005 (E) 4 1 Scope This document specifies the requirements for Factory Production Control (FPC) manufactu
20、rers of variable message signs and is designed to be read in conjunction with Part 1. The requirements described in this document are applicable to the products under the scope of EN 12966-1. This document specifies which sorts of parameters and tests have to be taken into consideration within the F
21、PC system, but leaves the precise test methods to be applied to be chosen depending on the manufacturers facilities and production methods. The precise parameters and methods will be found in the manufacturers written FPC procedures. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indi

24、and definitions given in EN ISO 9000:2000 and in EN 12966- 1:2005 and the following apply. 3.1 Factory Production Control (FPC) permanent internal control of production exercised by the product manufacturer 3.2 batch quantity of a product manufactured with no change in raw material, equipment, setti
25、ngs or operation as defined in the FPC system manual of the manufacturer 3.3 individual (and non-series) where the manufacturing process is different to the manufacturers usual process 4 System requirements 4.1 General The continuing conformity of VMS test module to the ITT, the requirements of this
26、 document and with the stated values (including classes) shall be demonstrated by factory production control. NOTE Initial type testing (ITT) is covered by EN 12966-2. Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, na, Fri Aug 05 06:59:37 BST 2005, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSIEN 12966-3:2005 (E) 5 All the elements, require
27、ments 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 quality assurance and enable the achievement of the required product charact
28、eristics and the effective operation of the production control system to be checked. The manufacturer shall exercise a permanent system of FPC. This shall include testing of samples in accordance with a prescribed test plan defined in this part of this document. The manufacturer shall be responsible
29、 for organising the effective implementation of the FPC system. Tasks and responsibilities in the production control organisation shall be documented and this documentation shall be kept up-to-date and reviewed for effectiveness at least once per year which shall be recorded. Manufacturers having an
30、 FPC system which complies with EN ISO 9001 and which are product specific to this standard are deemed to satisfy the requirements of this document. In each factory, the manufacturer may delegate action to a person having the necessary authority to: a) monitor procedures to demonstrate conformity of
31、 the product at appropriate stages; b) identify and record any instance of non-conformity; c) monitor procedures to correct instances of non-conformity. The manufacturer shall draw up and keep up-to-date documents defining the FPC system which he applies. The manufacturers documentation and procedur
32、es shall be appropriate to the product and manufacturing process. All FPC systems shall achieve and maintain an appropriate level of confidence that the product is in conformity with the ITT. 4.2 Factory Production Control system The factory production control system shall include at least the neces
33、sary procedures for: a) specification and verification of raw materials and relevant components; b) controls and tests to be carried out during manufacture; c) verifications and tests carried out on finished products in accordance with the test regime specified below; d) control of the necessary ins
34、tallations, equipment and trained personnel to execute the tests on the raw materials and components if necessary, the tests during production and the final quality control tests as specified below; e) operation maintenance and calibration of appropriate test and manufacturing equipment by qualified
35、 personnel. NOTE The manufacturer may arrange subcontracting agreements with one or more organizations or persons having the necessary skills and equipment in order to perform the above tasks. The test methods to be applied and the tolerances for the results of all the tests used shall be documented
36、 in the FPC system. The frequency of testing shall be in accordance with the test plan of the manufacturer, or as specified in Table 1, and shall be carried out according to the test methods indicated in this document. These methods shall be direct methods. In the case of certain characteristics, in
37、direct test methods may be used if the manufacturer is satisfied that the other characteristic, which is more practicable to measure, will insure conformity with this document. The manufacturer shall establish procedures to ensure that the production tolerances allow for the VMS performances to be i
38、n conformity with the declared values, derived from initial type testing.
